"TOPSY TURVY"
POPULAR REVUE
Another bright and colourful revue "Topsy Turvy, commenced its season at the New Opera House on Saturday night when the Connors and Paul Anglo-American Revue Company presented a spectacular and very entertaining show. Although last week's production "Hoity Toity' was good, "Topsy Turvy" definitely surpasses it. Its success in Wellington is assured. That inimitable and popular fun-mak-er Syd Beck wisecracks and fools as only he can and keeps the audience in a continuous state of hilarity. As the Captain In "Cafe Montmartre," which is an excellent' little play, although he is not quite all an. army officer should be. he is extremely clever and' very, good fun. His best performance is probably as. "Ah Pooh," the Chinese servant.
The Flying Elmars, a group of young ladies who show their skill at tumbling and balancing, are a bis hit and Davendo, who seems to be without bones, ties himself into knots and is deservedly popular. The four X's are four charming young ladies who make music with a piano, saxophones, and piano.accordions. Mike McCormack does some smart tap dancing and June and Ginger combine well. "The Apache," a thrilling and splendid' performance, is given by Davendo and Paulette. Special mention must be made of the fine work of the Sunkissed Ballet. The ever popular Queenie Paul sings pleasingly; in a number with Mike Connors, and Peggy Kerr is heard to advantage in a series of popular songs. It is impossible to mention all the principals or items, But this revue, which will be repeated tonight, is sure to draw crowded houses. /
