The "Plot" or What Have You

The "Plot" or What Have You

The main show, after a number of false starts, has emerged under the title of "Peter Pansy—A Political Corncake." and boy, is it corny? However, under the capable direction of John McCreary, the show is taking shape and should have the worthy burghers of Wellington in paroxysms of laughter—or tears.

The show starts off with the Electronic Ballet, and not a neutron among them—all with hour-glass figures and they make every second count. Then a couple of hams named Stinkie and Stunkle come forward and say their piece. They are the two components of the Platonic Bomb, so named to please the Hays Office and Mr. de la Mare. From here we are off to the Uno Circus with Windy Bevin, Splittenius and Rushinsky. Splittenius has the Platonic Bomb but Rushinsky has gone one better and mated two atoms to form an [unclear: O[gap — reason: illegible]oman]. The wives of the Shag are a bevy of Eastern Beauties who sing a ditty to the tune of the Egyptian National Anthem, which should bring back fond memories to all the old digs. Finally the Russian Spy Ring in Canada tears off the Platonic Bomb and the Terrible Trio are transported by Peter Pansy to safety in the Never Never Land.
