Press clippings
When Archibald asked his uncle what a worm such as he could offer a bally goddess like Aurelia Cammerleigh, Mr Mulliner wisely mentioned money, love and Archie's superb impression of a chicken laying an egg. Unwisely Archie brushed this wise advice aside. But money and love do matter and a loving and expensive production would have brought the play nearer the original.
