...summer vacationists at Phillip Island. They are protected by law and heavy fines are imposed upon anyone who harms them. In the daytime the Joey leads a rather somnolent existence, remaining comfortably curled up in a gum tree notch. At night they move about and eat the tender eucalyptus shoots which are their only food. Often, after dark, their heart-rending cry can be heard through the bush. A wail which is the very essence of anguish as a distraught mother seeks her lost offspring...
Johnson was no stranger to the Metropolitan. For 13 years he had kept his eminence there as an important romantic tenor, created more roles than any other tenor alive.

We lived next door to a theatre manager, and he put me in a "Kid act" at the tender ago of 11. Gus Edwards saw me there, signed me up, and I've been on the stage ever since. I was in the last "Follies" that Mr. Ziegfeld produced, "Calling All Stars", "At Home Abroad" when Eleanor Powell was forced to leave, and now this...
