| Description |
Playing in Narandera in the marquee theatre to be erected on Foley's ground in East Street, George Sorlie will present his new company of American and Australian Artists.
The only show bringing you genuine 'directly imported' acts. The company is strong in comedians. George Sorlie's Show Boat company is as varied as the talents of its outstanding personality, Frank Radcliffe, a negro comedian who sings, dancers, and plays trumpet and piano. Speed is the key note of the Kermond Boys acrobatic turn. Jack Mortimer plays violin with a broom, his hat, or his teeth. Zilla, cortortionist, Jack Arnold on harmonica, Laurie Long, Chinese tap dancer and two comedians Ronnie Shand and Buddy Morley, and the Eight Rhythm Rascals, all do fine work. |
