AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Revue.

Presented as the larger portion of the evening's entertainment, Hoch Aye was billed as 'a miscellany of Scottish airs, songs and dances.' The Brisbane Courier records that some of the scenes and sketches included impersonations of Sir Harry Lauder by Dorothy Summers and Wally Anderson, while 'a fine thread of of comedy was furnished throughout by Mr Hector St Claire... Other members of the company, including Messrs Moon and Morris, the inimitable dancing partners, assisted to lend a thoroughly Scottish aspect to the evening' (9 December 1922, p.17).

Songs incorporated into the production included 'Hail Caledonia', 'Ald Scottish Mither of Mine', and 'The Campbells are Coming' (sung by Richard McClelland), and 'Angus MacDonald' and 'Annie Laurie' (sung by Vera Benson).
