Jack Morrissey, the Australian cowboy, followed the news weekly and succeeded in bringing the crowd back to life again with his dexterous handling of the long stock whips. Morrissey is there with the pink sleeve garters and the rest of the masquerade paraphernalia that seems to be the regulation garb of the professional cow puncher of Kangaroo land. The patter Morrissey indulges in doesn't get him a thing, and unless funnier material can be secured it should be dropped. Most of the stuff with the whips has been done over here in the larger houses by Burt Shepard and others, but Morrisey needn't worry about that as long as he sticks to the pop houses.
