Description "On Our Selection" and "Dad and Dave Come to Town'' will be recalled on Saturday night at the new Crystal Theatre when, in addition to his "Gaieties" vaudeville and revue company, Mr Stanley McKay is to present Fred McDonald, the original "Dave" of Steele Rudd's famous Australian comedies, "On Our Selection," "Dad and Dave Come to Town," etc. With Bert Bailey as Dad and Fred as Dave, Australia has been laughing for over 80 years, and there is no sign yet of the waning in public opinion of Rudd's masterpiece.
