Revusical.

In this western revusical, Little Hermie (aka George Ward) is the Sheriff of Lame Dog Gully (Sydney Morning Herald 19 May 1923, p.2). A review of the 1923 Sydney season notes:

The Ward and Sherman Company have ingeniously woven a wild west episode, with concomitant guns and violence, into their new revue, Out West... The stark verities of cowboy life hardly fit in with the idea of dainty ballet girls, soft romantic music, love, and love-making, but given a shoutingly funny sheriff like "Little Hermie Shultz" and an intermediate link of burlesque is supplied, which quite satisfactorily unites the contrasting elements of the story (Sydney Morning Herald 21 May 1923, p.5).

One of the scenes mentioned takes place in the Lame Dog Bar, complete with a 'handsome group of girls.'

A 1927 advertisement provides some conflicting information, however, when it indicates that 'Little Hermie the umbrella mender [met] heaps of trouble from the bold bad men' and that 'Bert Le Blanc [was] the valiant sheriff' (Argus 21 May 1927, n. pag.).
1 Some Hotel Guessing at the Hotel Guess Snapshot Revue Company , Snapshot Revue Company , Fullers' Theatres , 1922 single work musical theatre revue/revusical humour

Revusical.

A 1923 advertisement in the Sydney Morning Herald reads, 'You've had Some Night and been Out West with little Hermie, but you will have ten times more fun in Some Hotel' (26 May 1923, p.2).
