No more violent contrast to "The Road of Poplars" could have been conceived than Dennis Hartley's mellow drama, "Virtue Shines Brighter Than Gold." Its romping burlesque appealed to the audience which cooperated to produce an impression of an olde tyme musicke hall which would have delighted ye B.B.C. Successfully modelling his style on Rayner Kellaway's, Dennis Hartley in the inevitable Nemesis cloak made a satisfying villain. His spit-hissing was delightful. The character of the father, played by Dave Cohen, seemed a little inconsistent, but in the Old Time Theayter . . . Cecil Crompton and Gordon Stuckey were excellent.
