Thompson, Gerald Marr

Highly regarded musical and theatrical critic. One newspaper, 'House', published the following quote in June 1922: 'No theatrical first night, no concert that claims to be a concert, is complete without the presence of this veteran dramatic and musical critic...No other man in Australia can so well tell the truth with a minimum of pain. To read between Thompson's lines is to read the facts'.
