Chinese Acrobats

The Chu Niu Lai acrobatic quartette are presenting the finest floorshow turn seen in Shanghai in years and are by far the smartest Chinese team to have appeared in a local cabaret. Muscular to a high degree, yet more agile than usually is associated with such a unit, they have positively fascinated patrons of Farrens for the past ten days. The management consider themselves fortunate in having contracted them for a long term.

Bonavita, opera singer, Bert Nik, one-man show, and Galina Kassakova, classical danseuse, round out the programme.

Last night bingo was introduced into the Nursery in a brighter and more varied form than usually played.
