day..
In the 19141918 War, an enter:
tainment group known • as the
" tiumbells" was form^d. This
company became famous through.
out Britain, Canada and the United
States. Jack McLaren who was
one of the otiginai n'lemberrs of
that company recreated' an old
"Dumbell" n=amber. • "Oh it's a
Lovely War", . 'which gave us a
good second -look at Bruce
Bairnsfather's loveable old char.
acter "Old Bill". As one Bay.
field lady nostalgically remark-
ed, she got "the thrill of a life-
time when Jack McLaren sang
that song again."
What a wonderful surprise and
pleasure we got when little Ernie
Pfritnmer of Benmillei enter-
tained us with his singing and
playing of his drums. Here is a
regular charmer with a seraphic
smile to beguile even a scrooge. •
Ernie was grand. • `
All- the radio studio sound eft.
ects secrets were revealed
by Jack Marriott as the sound roan
in the radio sketch. Marriott, who
am iold joined the cast at the
eleventh 'hour is a versatile re-
vue performer and, a great acq-
uisition to any show.
• The, finale number was a slap -
bang -up song entitled "There's •
always -sem -e. thing ----doing on the _T
Square," sung with gusts by the
whole company: •
"There's • alw'sys • something
doing on the Square '
There's always something
brewing on the Square
It's all so busy - it makes you
dizzy
- The fired.up action on the
Square.
There's always something
doing on the square ' ,
Just like a roaring midway at
a fair.
