12 Mins.; One and Full Stage. The Shentons, Australians, have something ab it different in the song and dance line with their dancing ability standing out considerably in advance of the vocal efforts. The turn consists of two men and a woman, the taller of the males doing practically all the singing, with the other couple dancing through the various choruses. The opening is a short introduction carrying an explanation of the ensuring work. It is followed by a Dutch number in costume, but for some reason or other the dialect is faulty, running a bit more to Scotch. AN Eskimo number is also added with an Indian song utilized for the finish. This is by far the best of the three and allows for some excellent dancing on a mat with moccasins worn. It brought the Shentons over to big applause and should guarantee their safe passage over here.
