NATIONAL
“SWING HIGH” A charming circus romance, “Swing High,” is delighting the audiences at the National Theatre. In the plot of the picture, drama and romance are skilfully blended, and there is an abundance of humour which serves to offset the many dramatic situations. The hero is a singei* in a small side-show which follows the circus owned by the father of the heroine. Whenever the circus pitches its tent, the small side-show follows, and draws much of the crowd away from the circus. The circus owner’s daughter, a part played by Helen Tvvelvetres, is attracted by the young singer. She suggests that her father should buy the small show, ostensibly to remove the competition, but really because she wants to become acquainted with the singer. For a while the course of true love runs smoothly, but when a new trapeze artiste is engaged the singer is rather fascinated by her dashing nature. The supporting programme includes items by the splendid negro singer, George Dewey Washington, in addition to “When the Wind Blows” and “Jungle Fools.”
