Note re 1922 Theatre Production of THE SENTIMENTAL BLOKE

At Melbourne King's the rugged charm of "The Sentimental Bloke" tightens its grip on the populace in general, and strengthens its stranglehold on the girls in particular. One day it will presumably be shipped across the seas to show the world that Australia has started a poetic drama of its own, racy of its soil, its slums and its human sympathies.
