London Daily Telegraph, Nov. 4th, 1913:
“Mr. Leo Stormont’s sketch, ‘GALATEA,’ is surely one of the very best things of its kind which has been seen for many a day, and the excellence of Mr Stormont’s display cannot regret that he should not have turned his attention earlier to acting, and that despite the pleasure he has long given by his fine rendering of the virile songs with which his name is associated.”
