Notes: In the space of a fortnight Melbourne received two features from Alberto Cavalcanti and this stodgy costumer was certainly the lesser of them. In fact, after being dumped at the Liberty as support to a Gene Autry oater, it managed a mere half dozen pairings with Johnny Allegro on the suburban circuit, half on top of the bill (all on Saturdays), half as support (all for full weeks). After four weeks and a dreary 27 points it was packed away for good.
