Carrad's Swan Song

Sharing Extrav. evenings and the public accolade with "Peter Pansy" will be "Ocean Going Blues," a one act show by John Carrad. Responsible for many a laudable production in the past, Mr. Carrad has turned out a show destined to stand with the best of his previous epics—a worthy supplement to the main attraction in the best Carrad tradition.

The part of Fletcher Christian Junior will be played by Paul Taylor, whose fine voice has been heard in many past shows and has made many a bobby soxer swoon in the aisles. Paul will sing some brand-new Carrad tunes which promise to become VUC favourites for many years to come, as have so many of his other melodies such as "Treasure Trove," "South Pacific Seas," "Caroline Bay" and "Wave a Handkerchief." Bruce Drummond. Sweet little Evelyn Drew in "The Dinkum Oil" in 1939, will play Tillie Tosshak, "an appealing type," a dewy eyed young thing who has more of what it takes than any of the signorinas on the Via Nazionale. Peter Mitchell. Scarlet O'Hokanui in "Gone With The Wind Up" in 1941, will play Sherlock Holmes, the "Dinkum Doyle." Orm Creed is signed up to out-Laughton Laughton as Captain Bligh, and there will be some of the original High-Steppers among the South Sea Belles who are being drilled by Moira Wicks, who was responsible for the outstanding Can-Can in "Gone With The Wind Up." All in all it should come up to the expectations of the most ardent Carradophile.
