BiographyHistory

The All Diggers Company of seven returned servicemen toured their three act musical comedy Mademoiselle Mimi around Australia for J. and N. Tait between February 1920 and ca. April 1921. A re-organised 5 member line-up later toured a series of revusicals (including Mimi's Spies and Roy Redgrave's The Pommy Bride) around New Zealand for the Fullers as one half of vaudeville programme. The troupe then played engagements in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney between November 1921 and March 1922. Among the members of the company were female impersonator Lindsay Kemble, Roy Glenister, George Jennings, Jack Lumsdaine and Lorne O'Brien.
