The Spike: or, Victoria College Review Capping Carnival 1921

[introduction]

Scene:— A popular watering place on Crusoe Island. Not more gulls than usual. Highly tropical but not too hight [sic]. The lives of the actors are not endangered as there are no coconuts. The screaming of a paroquet, with a magnificent plumage of green and gold, is thought to be heard about ten minutes before the curtain rises, but in this oasis of beauty it is a mirage. The sea in the background is seen but not heard. The audience will recognise a promenade with its men and women from society's sitting-rooms. As he play begins on Saturday, there is no Friday on the Island.
