Notes

  • Art Slavin and his company re-opened the Eden Gardens for Harry Clay (after its refurbishment) with this revue. Harry Kitching reports that it 'made a decided hit and the writer (Art Slavin) is to be congratulated on his effort: it has many funny situations, while some excellent musical numbers are introduced which make the show one of the most entertaining the management have on their circuit' (Australian Variety 11 Oct. 1918, n. pag.).
