Description
Sydney singer Lucky Starr and his troupe got a riotous reception from members of the RAAF contingent, when they put on a show at the airmen's tent lines at Vung Tau Airbase on Boxing Day. They performed on a trailer rigged up as a stage outside the Airmens' Club, known as the Ettamogah Hotel. In the concert party with Lucky Starr were a group of singers, The Rajahs, comedian Terry Scanlon and New Zealand singer Sheralyn Blake. After the show, the airmen entertained the performers at the Ettamogah Hotel.
