Vulinini made an instantaneous hit with everyone, and the applause throughout liis turn was spontaneous"; whilst at the conclusion of his great act Vulinini was accorded an ovation. For those who like comedy at its height, with a good plot and thrills thrown in, “A Hero For a Night,” can be recommended'. It starts with a laugh and , ends with the at r iehce hysterical.

Butt Mclntosh, and _ a host of other well-liked' players, including Lloyd Whitlock, Bob Milash and Ruth Dwyer. In addition a classical programme of supports.
