Abstract

Revue.

Two of the sketches reported to have been included in the 1926 Melbourne production were 'The Tragedy of a Dinner' and 'The Strike.' Alec Kellaway also drew praise from the Age theatre critic for his rendition of 'Romany Love Song.'

Notes

  • Several reviews published during Moon and Morris's 1926 Brisbane season indicate that Ed. Warrington was responsible for writing most of the sketches presented in their revues (see, for example, Brisbane Courier 3 July 1926, p.19). Other material is believed to have been contributed by members of the troupe (notably Moon and Morris) and from outside sources. The musical programme likely comprised both original numbers and a selection of popular tunes from the period.
