CLEM DAWE’S REVUE.
••The Whirl of the Town,” the Clem Dawe Revue Company’s new programme at St James' Theatre, is unbelievably entertaining. Its success owes a great deal, naturally, to the undoubted abilities of Clem Dawe as a comedian. His jokes are fresh and never too far-fetched, with a basis in the everyday experiences that everybody knows. But his skill consists in far more than the ability to say clever things. Like the lady in the song. “ His face is his fortune.” Ilis command of facial expression is unusual, and it is invariably well timed. In j addition, he is a skilful eccentric ! dancer. Much praise must be given to the singing, the ballets and the spe- ; ciality dancing. The tango in the final | scene, by Ilalliday and Watson, is ' remarkable for the controlled flash ot it:-: movement—better dancing than has been seen in Christchurch tor years. The ballets appeal by their precision. There is no fumbling movement, and 1 everything moves with a snap. There will be a matinee' to-morrow. 1
