Efftee Entertainers

For the first time on video - the earliest Australian stage acts to appear on sound films - all transferred directly from quality original 35mm nitrate negatives and prints. Filmed on state-of-the-art Mitchell cameras with RCA sound, these long forgotten, `shorts’ open a window on the Australian Variety and Show world of the early 1930s.
