Description “A very bright musical and novelty program was provided at the Paramount Theatre last night, when the Royal Blind Entertainers played to a large audience. […] Alf Broadway, well remembered for his remarkable juggling acts, again delighted, and also was ably assisted in comedy numbers by various members of the cast. […] A popular member, especially with the younger folk, was the youthful Terry Bennett, yodeller. Magic was also a feature of the programme, this being provided by Dennis Bandels. As accompaniste for the night Miss Ettie Petersen (performed brilliantly, and her music was a delight. Other members of the cast included Ike Delavale, comedian; Paul Evans, baritone; Louise Lorraine, soprano; Rosie McLaughlin, saxophonist and the Bandels, musical and ventriloquial novelty.”
