"This Is My Swan Song"

"This Is My Swan Song"

With these words John Carrad announces his intention of bringing to a close a long series of successful Extrav interludes. He began this series in 1936 with "Intermission in Eternity." His catchy tunes, with a flavour of the latest song hit, Paul Taylor's attractive voice, and the elephantine gyrations of the male ballet delighted the audience.

"Daze Bay Nights" came next, followed in 1938 by "Port. Nick Iniquity." Then came "The Dinkum Oil" in 1939. "You Can't Pick a Winner" in 1940, and "Gone With The Wind Up" in 1941. This year the old-timers will have a final flourish in "Ocean Going Blues."
