AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The title aptly describes the new Connors-Paul revue which began at the National Theatre [Launceston] last night for a three nights' season It is a lot of fun. It is a revue of exuberance and colour in which the whole company contributes to merriment and music that last the evening through. Never was the splendid Sunkissed Ballet seen in more plcturesqlue numbers, and Launceston has not seen the comedians in crazier mood. And even if at moments their exuber ance miight possibly have been slightly overwhelming, the reception which they won was proof positive of their popular appeal' (Examiner 21 April 1934, p.8).
