TIVOLI CIRCUIT presents

"PLEASURES of PARIS"

TIVOLI CIRCUIT, in keeping with its progressive policy of presenting the greatest names in show business to-day supported by the finest international acts in variety and featured in fast moving lavishly mounted shows, takes great pleasure in presenting their new French follies "PLEASURES OF PARIS" featuring one of the most publicised names of our time, the Fabulous SABRINA. No cost has been spared in creating this spectacular Parisian styled revue with a cast of international variety stars and 30 of Australia's most beautiful girls.
For the future, Tivoli's have planned a line up of shows that they feel will more than fulfil the faith that the Directors hold in the future of live entertainment and variety revue presentations in particular.
Following "PLEASURES OF PARIS" you are invited to join England's jovial jester JOHNNY LOCKWOOD in "TROPICAL HOLIDAY" introducing from Rio de Janeiro the exciting BRAZILIANA DANCERS who will be completing a world tour.

Who's who in the Show . . .

SABRINA. ..

The story of Sabrina (Norma Sykes originally) begins at the age of eleven when she was the champion swimmer for her home town of Stockport near Blackpool. Het family moved to Blackpool soon afterwards, and it was here she contracted polio during an epidemic.
Until she was sixteen she was in and out of hospital nursing the after effects of this unfortunate illness.
About the time Sabrina was eighteen a photographer friend took her picture. English Post used it on their cover and Sabrina was "made".
An agent called her up for a B.B.C. TV audition on the Arthur Askey Show. Sabrina explained "it was only a small part but I had never been on the stage before."
She has had to turn down several film offers recently because of her commitment at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, for a period of eighteen months, where she appeared prior to visiting Australia.
She has charm, a sense of humour and intelligence to realise that Sabrina is a much more fortunate girl than Norma Sykes ever was.

If you see a Saba-mauve Vauxhall car with leopard skin upholstery and a gold "S" on the door (probably surrounded by crowds of people) it will be SABRINA'S new car, the colour being named after her.
