Jim Gerald’s Revue Company is continuing a successful season at the New Opera House.

Excellent work is done by Essie Jennings, Ronnie Shand, Reg Hawthorne, Howard Hall, Iris May, Linda Foy, Lily Coburn, Letty Craydon and Joan Graham.

Hawthorne, Linda Foy, Lily Coburn and Essie Jennings. “Happy Ideas” is the collective title given to the numbers preceding
