Assisting them in the many up-to-the-minute sketches, are Dolly Donoughoe, Max Reddy, and the brilliant personality girl, Stella Lamond. As usual with Mr McKay’s companies, the specialities are of a most outstanding nature, and include the amazing juggling act of George Hurd, the acknowledged successor to Paul Cinquivali.

Others in the large cast of principals are v ,Nellie Kolle, famous male impersonator V San Remos Bros., matchless hand balancers ; Assam, Pekoe, Souchon and Congo, crazy acrobatic clowns ; Stella Collier, soprano ; Barry Ross, baritone : Gerry Keogh, acrobatic dancer ; and Snowy Towers, mimic of screen stars.
