The Melrose Theatre Perth - Review

*ROY RENE

A crowded house greeted the change of programme at ‘Melrose Theatre on Saturday evening. Roy Rene, a clever Yiddisher comedian, who made his first appearance, scored an instantaneous success, and was on excellent terms with his hearers from the moment he appeared on the stage. His quaint dancing and broadly humorous songs and stories anent the vagaries of “my friend Cohen” were received with mingled laughter and applause, and an encore was in unanimous request at the conclusion of the turn. This was forthcoming in what was described as an impersonation of a Jewish prize fighter — an agreeable bit of foolery, excellently received - Mon 13 Jan, 1913

Wholehearted laughter

The genial, droll Irishman, Mr. Albert Bletsoe, and the worried, sorely-tried Hebrew, Mr. Roy Rene, as the bogus beautifler and assistant respectively, made & pair of comedians who never failed to provoke wholehearted laughter, and to them the undoubted success of the evening was largely due - Mon 16th Aug 1915 - Contributed by Greg Lynch -
