Notes
-
Several reviews from the 1926 Brisbane season indicate that Ed. Warrington was responsible for writing most of the sketches presented in the Moon and Morris revues (see for example Brisbane Courier 3 July 1926, p19). Other material is believed to have been contributed by members of the troupe, notably Moon and Morris themselves, and from outside sources. The musical programme likely comprised both original numbers and a selection of popular tunes from the period.
