Here are the notes Steve Davis will use for his chat with Andrew Reimer on FIVEaa tonight about this week’s Adelaide Show episode, number 172.
We interviewed Katie Spain and Sky Harrison from Fritz Magazine.
- Fritz Magazine is a new, free, quarterly, South Australian features magazine available through 30-odd Foodland Supermarkets around the state.
- It was named after our humble sausage (remember the old State Bank ad, They don’t have fritz in Sydney …)
- We pondered what vegans might think about the magazine title
- How feature writing is different from daily newspaper writing – it is a spectrum from high celebrity to high story value
- Why we should spend time with older people and others with different points of view
- Salman Rushdie’s view on the value of reading fiction
- Sky and Katie’s takes on what it means to be South Australian
In the musical pilgrimage, we’ll hear from Rhys Howlett with the least jingoistic anthem for South Australia ever written, Eagle On The Hill

Corner of Rundle and Morphett Streets, ADELAIDE, Established 1862
Theatre Royal
Adelaide Observer July 1877
Of the play of “Fritz” as a dramatic composition there is not much to be said. It is purely a “speciality play,” and theatre-goers Know well what that means. Probability is not considered a necessary concomitant of these productions, and the author of “Fritz” has certainly not troubled himself much on that score. Of plot, properly so called, there r very little. The incident is evolved from the adventures of a young German “song and dance artist”—the technical name for this description of performer—who has arrived in New York in search of the wealth of a dead father and the whereabouts of a lost sister. Amongst the disguises he assumes are an old charwoman—the most complete impersonation which he assumes; a flower girl with song, “That funny little man”; a Bologna sausage-seller, with a humorous song and dance; a German goats-milk woman with song, “Johnny was a nice young man,” and grotesque dance: and an Alpine guide, with song and drum performance.
A Sausage Machine Accident
The Advertiser December 1902
On Wednesday morning as Fritz, the eldest son of Mr. George Conquest, butcher, of Mitcham, was preparing some small goods, the horse attached to the sausage machine unexpectedly started. The machinery was set in motion, with the result that Fritz had the thumb and first finger on his right hand severed.
