Lome, comedian, and Gus. Dawson, ragtime exponent and dancer. A select orchestra of ten artists will be a special feature of “The Diggers’ ” entertainment. The Dally Mail, Brisbane, says: “For a couple of hours or more ‘The Diggers’ held their audience enchained with their sparkling comedy end tuneful singing, so that the flight of time passed unheeded and all too quickly. ‘The Diggers’ are strong in voices, and the musical numbers, whether gay or serious, are among the most pleasant items of the evening. Several clever burlesque scenes" are provocative of unrestrained mirth, and the remarkable female impersonations of Mr Stanley Lawson are delightful to see.” “The Diggers” are under the management of Tano Fama,. Frank Perkins, and Stan Lawson. Bernard Cottier is musical director, and Tano Fama producer. The box plans are at H. I. Jones and Sons.
