BiographyHistory

Formed in 1916 as Harry Clay's Musical Revue and Vaudeville Company, one of four variety companies operating on a four-week rotation basis around Clay's Sydney suburban and south-west New South Wales circuits, the troupe was led by Art Slavin. By around 1918/1919, it was being more often referred to simply as the Art Slavin Revue Company, the name by which it continued to be called up until the early 1920s.
