| Review: (Herald, October 10, 1930 Advert) | ||||||
| "Welcome home Eddie Fitch - Melbourne's favourite organist. When Eddie's fingers wander over the console such music is conjured from the depths as stirs the emotions and carries the enthralled listener to realms of delight. Tomorrow afternoon and night Eddie Fitch will again enthrall Regent audiences. And associated his organ with Will Cade and the Regent Orchestra, these two musicians will lift Regent music to a plane that places the Regent in a class by itself." | ||||||

| Review: (Herald, November 3, 1930) | ||||||
| "Rene Maxwell soprano, Rene Rich violiniste and Lillian Gibson contralto thrilled a packed house on Saturday night with delightful renderings of old-fashioned numbers. On a colourful stage they entertained with grace and confidence, and even when sheafs of flowers were handed to them over the footlights, the audience wanted to hear more. Will Cade and the thatre's orchestra played excellent accompaniments, which were sympathetic and effective. Mr. Cade's orchestra gave a pleasant overture and the interval music was good. Eddie Fitch in a novelty number at the Wurlitzer organ was popular. | ||||||
