Revue.
In its review of the 1932 Grand Opera production, the Sydney Morning Herald reports that 'The audience saw an entertainment as something of a colourful kaleidoscope, with Nat Phillips and his company producing in rapid succession a variety of bright turns and scenes. One of the features of the programme, with an effective stage setting, was the song scena in which Angela Parselles and Nita Carr appeared' (25 January 1932, p.4).
Notes
-
It is likely that some material in the revue came from sources other than Nat Phillips, including members of the troupe itself.
