AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The Sydney Morning Herald critic records in 1924: 'Half the programme was contributed by Claude Dampier's Trump Cards Company... Dampier himself as usual took the lion's share of the work and proved quite equal to it. He is versatile enough to take advantage of the many openings the revue offers for humorous interlude, and the audience found his grotesqueries irresistible... Pretty scenic effects are a feature of the show, Chinatown, Jazzland and the Rose Garden being particularly effective' (18 August 1924, p.5).
