Cocktail
★ 6.5 · 1937 · Comedy
According to several old writings, Cocktail means something like mixed - and mixed is probably what you could call "Dana's" first revue production. It is a mix of everything that was good and better in the summer's two big revue successes, and as an extra little splash of fruit juice at the bottom of the shaker, a single thing has been taken from "Circus Revue".
