NORTH CHINA TROUPE
BOX PLANS NOW OPEN. The box plan for the forthcoming season of this world-renowned North China troupe, who are supported by six European vaudeville specialities is now open at Nimmo’s. The company will appear at the Regent Theatre on Monday, September 25. The Cape Town “Tribune” of April 10, 1939, says: “The entertainment provided by Lau Fu Chang and his band of fifteen Orientals has no equal on the variety stage ... so much entertainment is given that imitation would be prohibitively costly. The muscular gymnasts, who swing dangerous knives, balance each other on bamboo poles, and twirl around horizontal bars with such ease and reckless abandon, must surely be the pick of the Orient s strong men.’’ The first half of the programme. comprising specially-selected vaudeville acts from London, is headed by the Three Camerons, whose musical offering, interspersed with two brilliant yodellers, is of a high standard, as is the dancing of Latona and Sparks.
