The Cedar Tree (musical)

The Cedar Tree is an Australian musical play produced in the wake of the success of Collits' Inn.

[3][4] Edmund Barclay had written a number of radio revues for the ABC and he was enlisted to write a musical.

The ‘Australian atmosphere’ is not thrust at the audience in large chunks, and there are no kangaroos hopping across the stage, and, unless the producer decides otherwise, there will not be one single solitary pair of whiskers.

The comedy part is of ‘The Flying Pieman,’ a well- known identity of the Hawkesbury Road, who caused a great deal of comment.

Gladys Moncrieff renders her numbers in excellent voice, her duet with Russell Scott, “It Had To Be,” earned great applause, while all the songs registered' with the audience... “The Cedar Tree” from start to finish is excellent entertainment, the whole cast has worked hard to make it a success, and F. W. Thring deserves all possible in this respect.
