Cross and Gibson closed to a rocking audience.
When Wellington Cross arrived he used his regular material. This got over very well and he used four song numbers. Then he went into high and Gibson, who had appeared in a previous act, shot on to the stage and the pair started a turn that was a riot. Cross announced they would do a thought transmission act and Gibson, blindfolded was left on the stage while Cross went through the house burlesquing a turn of this character. It was a scream and the hit of the evening.
