short visit from the front or just out
of the hospital or away from the camp
and soldiers on similar leave seem to
crave mental relief of this sort. They
make up by far the most of the male

informal at the revue, and smoking is
allowed, which are further attractions.
American influence predominates in
English revues. American dances,
ragtime songs, slang and even touch
Of twang in singing are not more not
able than the striving for rapid action,
novelties and surprises in costume and
scene that are typical of the American
concoction.
