“JOURNEY’S END’’ •'Though a play of the War. has nothing of the horror or bitterness of war. Moreover, it contains a genuine comedy that brings countless laughs.” Sir John Monash’s Magnificent Tribute and Message to Australians after he had seen ‘•Journey's End.” HAVE YOU SEEN THE PLAY “JOURNEY’S END’? IF NOT, DO NOT FAIL TO DO SO. If you were a soldier on the Western Front it will vividly remind you of your war experiences, and will re-awaken many memories. If you were not. it will give you a truer picture of life in the front line, and of the tragedy, pathos and humour of war. than anything else that you have read or heard. In spite of its intense realism there is nothing in the play that is harrowing or revolting. It is, at one and the same time, an entertainment and a sermon. There are many laughs and plenty of appeals to your tender emotions. A drama without a plot, without a love story, and without a hero or villan, it yet grips your attention and holds your interest throughout every moment until the John Monash* His Majesty’s Theatre Direction: J.
