The Oojah Bird is a 1924 Australian revue from George Wallace.

Premise

George travels to the east and kils the bird of a sultan.[2]

Reception

Everyones wrote "George Wallace again upheld the comedy honors, and Marshall Crosby rendered creditable support."[3]

The Bulletin wrote "George Wallace has succeeded in giving about the best of his shows to date. Particularly bright, as rendered by George with the assistance of Sadie Gale, is a hit of very old nonsense about instructing an amateur to be a waiter."[4]

Everyones wrote "There is some semblance of a plot, but this is mostly forgotten in the fast moving incidents musical numbers and dances which contribute to the success of a likeable tabloid."[5]
