''[[The World's Entertainment]]'' is the name given to a [[variety]] show produced by [[Frederick Mouillot]] and his visiting company in Cape Town.

==The original text==

Nothing specific is known about the show, it was most probably a generic umbrella title for a series of vaudeville acts put on over time during the [[Mouillet Company]]'s international tours.

==Translations and adaptations==

== Performance history in South Africa ==

Introduced to audiences in April, 1902 by local impresario [[Frank de Jong]], the listing of the British company's repertoire (e.g. in Boonzaier, 1926) includes this one. Nothing more is known about the show.
