"It was Mr. Will Crooks, the well-known Labour member, who
asked the Chairman if the House might sing 'God Save the King,'
and when Mr. Crooks started it in his deep bass voice everyone stood
up and joined in the singing."--_Westminster Gazette._
"Moreover, Mr. Crooks had pitched the tune a little too high, and
it seemed for a moment that he with his rich high tenor voice would
have to sing the anthem as a solo."--_Daily Chronicle._
