The Age records:

'Following a first half of vaudeville turns... [Jim Gerald] staged a sort of revue entitled Mixed Brides, throughout the action of which he ignored anything approaching sequence and story and frolicked through the scenes and below the footlights at his own sweet will. His most brilliant effects were achieved with Frieda Bohning, who is singing charmingly on the deck of a ship. The two hands of Miss Bohning trying to prevent the comedian from falling might have been the imaginary hands of everyone in the crowded house so skilfully did Mr Gerald play on the fancy of his audience' (9 April 1934, p.10).
