A Preamble Laughter, we hope, is here in store for you. And wits, you hope, behind the arras lurk. If our offence seems rank, remember blue Is in the eye ·of the beholder, and a few Good jokes make many pencils work.

Blue Pencil welcomes you to mirth tonight. What half so precious could the censors write?

T. H. Jones.

The Opening DON'T

Ask to read a book like the Group or Fanny Hi ll DON'T

For you won't get a look till the censor says you will DON 'T

Hope to s€e a foreign movie That hasn't had one single cut For the Blue Pencil is always there Taking ca re of the smut !

DON'T In illegal hours Put groceries on a shelf

DON'T Police exert their powers To protect you from yourself

DON'T Try to buy another schooner After the clock has struck ten Or in this civilised community That Pencil will strike again.

DON'T Display artistic nudes You'll arouse the censor's rage

DON'T For it's considered rude Using four letter words on stage

DON'T Try to sing a little ditty That may be thought to be blue For that big blue pencil is always there And it knows What is best FOR YOU !

THE Directors, Jill Thomson and Bill Crowley, hove their f irst individual and joint venture into production in 'Blue Pencil ' Jill has hod backstage experience with ' In T ime Ou( and 'Top Secre( principally in the cap­acity of call girl Has actually been around Newcastle Revue for severo I years B iII was a pnncipol in the cost of 'Top Secret', and appeared in various Sydney University Revues before coming to Newcastle .
