Read Narrative
‘“Look Who’s Here” was the attraction at the Wood Green Empire last week. The production, excellent in every way, contains many popular names, including, as it does, those of Mr. James Learmouth, Mr. Billy Caryll, Miss Dorothy Grey, Miss Jenny Hartley, and Mr. Arthur Roberts. A strikingly beautiful and chaste speciality dance by Lydia and Francis was one the gems of the performance. The interlude “Max and Moritz,” specially written by Mr. Harry M. Vernon, and played by Messrs. Learmouth and Caryll, caused much laughter. The revue is handsomely staged. Manager David James reports that business here is good - the first houses exceptionally so’. The Era, 6 December 1916.
