Comprising a mix of sketches, skits, scenas, songs, comedy routines, and ballets sourced from international revues, and from local writers (including members of the company), Tell the World was used as Connors and Paul's opening show for their 1934 Launceston season. In reporting on the opening night the Examiner's theatre critics wrote:

[Tell the World] is a spectacular show, a show full of laughter, of music, of dancing, of magnificent settings, and beautiful clothes, and the 20 original "Ideas" which constituted the programme were received enthusiastically by a crowded house. It is doubtful if two such laugh makers as Messrs. Syd Beck and Stan Foley have ever been 'teamed' together in any previous revue company to visit Launceston—and it is certain that no comedians have had their efforts more fully appreciated. Mr. Foley's masterpiece was his recital of the manner in which he won a place in the Test team, and the dance that followed was uproarious. Mr. Beck's mispronunciations, which run through the show, and his general delightful clowning also established him as a warm favourite. Both comedians carried their fun throughout the show in a manner which de lighted every section of the audience... There is talent of every description. Mr. Mike Connors and Miss Queenie Paul, the founders of the company, have for many years been noted for their vaudeville work, and the examples which they presented on Saturday-night were explanation enough of their long success, Mr. Connors, as ever, was particularly happy in the patter choruses, of which he is a past master. Miss Paul's capabilities as a producer as well as a most. pleasing soprano, were fully demonstrated in the brilliance of the ballet work. Her's is a ballet that has been brought to the height of perfection, and the elaborate settings in which the bigger scenes are set, are truly spectacular (2 April 1934, p.8).
