QUEEN'S THEATRE
The Marcus Show is filled with a galaxy of beautiful girls, como- dies, songs, dances, acrobatics, and skits that are punctuated with rhythm. The girls are livelier and lovelier than any other touring troupe seen in the Colony before, and, it is one of the cleverest, most expensive and most beautiful revues ever brought to the Far East.
due to Charles Much credit is Hugo, the managing director and Leon Miller, the dance director and production manager.
Miller is not only dance director and production manager but first-class comedian. There are so many stars in this production that it is difficult to select any in- dividual other than Millet for an outstanding performance.
The Marcus Show is daring and sophisticated without being vul.
