Shaw Sketch Press Cuttings Banned by Lord Chamberlain
Mr Bernard Shaw’s sketch Press Cuttings was banned by the Lord Chamberlain for containing personalities, though not wholly suppressed. It was staged last month at the Court Theatre by the Civic and Dramatic Guild, with General Mitchener and Mr Balsquith named characters drawing the censure. The dialogue satirizes suffragists and officials, echoing the Gilbert precedent on living political figures on stage.

Omdurman could decline in wealth as rail links improve and caravans shift toward El Obeid and Mecca pilgrims via the old routes.
