Revusical.
Described as an 'alluring... picturesque and romantic revue,' this production was unlike most of the Moon and Morris Revue Company repertoire in that it was plot-driven. According to the Brisbane Courier, the story dealt largely with Spanish bandits and marauding gypsies. 'George Moon,' writes the paper's theatre critic, 'was funny as the proverbial circus as 'Tony' a sort of suburban mountaineer. Especially comical was when he confided in song to his hearers how he "hated women like 'ell," not merely because they were "blots on the landscape of life" but because they were ''slugs on the cabbage of bliss"' (2 August 1926, p.10).
One of the troupe's other revusicals was Dad, Choom and Co.
