'Charming ballet numbers, tuneful melodies, the fun and frolic of Stan Foley, and the droll humour of Nick Morton gave the entertainment plenty of "pep" and swing. Mike Connors and Queenie Paul, as usual, were prominent in specialty numbers, full of sparkle and vivacity, and Mr. Harry Thurston, London's famous character comedian, sang excellent character songs, his study of a broken-down actor reciting his first triumph in the Shakespearean role of Macbeth being particularly good. One of the most amusing of several comedy sketches was that in which Stan Foley gave a realistic im personation of a ventriloquist's doll, Mike Connors being the unfortunate ventriloquist who found his strength well-nigh unequal to the task of balancing tho "doll" on his knee. "Short Stories from Life" provided some amusing sidelights on the lives theatrical people lead after the curtain has rung down on tho show. Songs by Queenie paul, Lulla Fanning, VI Jugleman, Stan Foley, Russell Cal low, and Tom Collins met with the hearty appreciation of the audience, and specialty dances by Doris Whlmp and Ronnie Hay, and the Ritchie Boys were among tho most popular Items on an excellent and well-balanced potpourri of music song, and laughter' (Courier Mail 3 February 1934, p.9).
