Humor In Red Cross Show At Glenelg
A crowded audience at the Glenelg Town Hall last night saw the Red Cross Variety Company give its second programme. It was as bright as that which opened the series at Unley. Much of the fun was provided by Rex Dawe and John Duncan in a series of sketches, with Alice Creed, Frank Waters and Jack Gardiner. Equally enjoyable were songs by Joan Anders, with a ballet trained by Jean Bedford, and Howard Pfitzner, and violin solos by Kath Yoerger. A popular element of dancing was introduced by Shirley Bushell and Lila Simmons. The Hewitt Sisters gained sustained applause for their harmonies. Pattie Catton, Jack Charnstrom and Lloyd Videon were other favorites. Ron Britton showed skill as a trick cyclist and juggler. Stage effects and lighting, arranged by Mr. C. Addicoat were outstanding features.
