MARCUS SHOW GIRLS.

VERSES FROM ADMIRERB. SYDNEY’S CALLOW YOUTHS. Ardent Admirer No. 1 of the Marcus Show glrla Is a young man who pours out his heart to them in "poems.” says Sydney Sun. Thirty members of the company have received poems from him, accompanied by valentines and flowers, costing about £5 Wooing Flights. Here is a typical flight of wooing words, addressed to showgirl Gene j Born.:— Three times I’ve sat and seen your show I send this poem to let you know I Your smile is sweet, your Ups so red You really make me lose my head. To meet you is my fond desire Please answer, Yes,” , . . It’s a true Australian heart which beats so wildly In the back stalls, as

can be seen from this effusion to Helen Palmer: — To the land of the Southern Cross you’ve come To Sydney Town to make things lium And If your detective is not too near I’d like to meet this sweet little dear Our kangaroos are interesting and • not unruly And when you see the koalas think of yours truly. Oh, For Spring! Another ode, to Ben McAtee, comedian, ends: — Still in my heart I envy you Mid Marcus girls, you lucky boy If I were you—Oh, Joy I oh, joy I The Marcus girls are “tickled” by these anonymous attentions. “If he can do this in winter— Oh, boy, what must he be like in the spring,” one of them said.
