AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this original A.B.C. Revue, the diverting ad ventures of Dad, Dave, Mum, and Sarah, after winning the Lottery, are carried a stage further. In this new musical presentation we find London welcoming the happy travellers with open arms. The delights of the West End, the homely Cockney humor, the good-tempered turmoil of the world’s greatest city, form an entertaining background, against which our Australian friends move through a sequence of mirthful and musical moments. The rich mire of London Life is exploited to its fullest in the development of this revue.'
