Bright lights, happy smiling faces every where,, merry music, a song with a lilt, a song with pathos. Twinkling toes tapping the time to tantalising tunes. . Gay. coloured frocks, a breezy and sometimes droll comedian dispensing clean, wholesome humour. . Changing, ever-changing scenes —the magician, the charming girl ventriloquist and her pal Joe, the svelte lithsome-bodied lassie, performing “ impossible ” acrobatics; a hand balancer and trick cyclist, thrillingly daring, a golden voiced girl singing the sweet songs we all love so well; a most sagacious performing dog, a juggler, then more and more good music and singing; more twinkling’ toes, more smiling lassies in their synchronal gay and colourful frocks; the clever and definitely humorous sketches “ wedged ” into this whirl of gaiety.
