IN FOURTH WEEK

REVUE AT ST. JAMES The Whirligigs Revue Company is still putting vigour and life in its snappy entertainment at St. Jam.es Theatre. Now in its fourth week, the revue continues to attract large audiences. The programmes presented have been excellently planned. They have been packed with amusing skits, revuettes. convincing humour, good singing and pleasing dancing. Stiffy and Mo, of course, are the leading humorists. Their effort ft present is as a pair of railway porters. Not ordinary ones, for they have ultrasocialistic notions. Millionaires are no better than Stiffy and Mo, according to the comic pair. There is plenty of action in their turns. Peter Brooks, Sadie Gale, Amy Rochelle and Ban Dunbar are tlfe singers of the company. One of their star items is “Faust.” Among the jazz numbers interpreted by the Charleston Symphonic Six Band are “Hi Biddle Biddle” and “The Sobbing Blues.” The band’s accompaniment to “Faust” is also excellently done. The Radio Six ballet, always neatly and attractively frocked. goes through a strenuous programme with ease. The girls give a vital touch to the show. Occasionally, the Terry Sisters lead the ballet in smart dancing. And then Gale dances quite as well as she sings. 'Erb (Jack Kelleway) cannot be fc*gotten. He conspires frequently with Stiffy and Mo as to the best methods of springing fresh fun on the audience.
