Hackett presented several other plays of his own before leaving in 1934, and the theatre built its reputation for modern comedies throughout the rest of that decade. During World War II the theatre housed mainly revues which had become commonplace entertainment throughout the west end. In 1942 The Whitehall Follies, featuring Phillis Dixey,  the first stripper ever to perform in the theatre district, opened with great fanfare and became an immediate success. Dixey leased the theatre and remained in it for the next five years.
