The revue drew packed houses on Thursday and Tuesday, earning about £205 over two nights and hailed as one of Gloucester’s most successful stage shows.

The show featured Miss Ritz Gallagher, Ruth Moore, Leo and Velma Dodd, Doug Yates, and many dancers in colorful numbers including Golden Umbrella and Little Blue Hat, with a Remembrance Day tableau closing the evening.
