Notes
-
In reviewing the Bridge Theatre (Newtown) season, Australian Variety editor Harry Kitching records that it proved 'a big success [with] many funny situations causing big laughs. The show is very solid, good comedy, bright and catchy musical numbers, which brought applause, proving the record audience was enjoying the whole show' (13 June 1917, n. pag.).
Following its debut at the Coliseum in North Sydney, Kitching further proposed that Miss Chilly from Chile was 'one of the highest class playlets in vaudeville [and] offered by artists of real merit' (4 July 1917, n. pag.).
