First sentence: The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane is in wartime dress: outside, instead of gigantic posters announcing some colossal musical production, with the names of the stars twinkling in lights overhead, today the boards, work-manlike and unostentatious, simply stated that here was the headquarters of the Entertainment's National Services Association (ENSA), under the auspices of the Navy, Army, Air Force Institute (NAAFI).
