MemoStarting in New Zealand and ending in Western Australia in 1938. "The Marcus Show was a travelling revue from America. It was the creation of Abe Marcus, a canny Midwest dry-cleaner who built his show around a stock of theatrical costumes left by a dance troupe that had been unable to pay its bills. The show reached Australia after traipsing through China, Japan, Thailand and New Zealand. One of its novelties was a cod hillbilly act by 'Bobby' Dyer - who returned here for the Tivoli in 1940 and went on to become one of the country's best known radio and television quizmasters. The Marcus Show's principal attraction was its crude comedy and, especially, its immobile, bare-breasted showgirls, the first ever seen in Australia. Strangely, though the show had been outlawed in several American states, there was little objection from the wowsers who guarded Australia's morals." (ref: Live Performance Australia)
