The New York Clipper (June 1913)

June 7 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. 13 OUR AUSTRALIAN LETTER, SYDNEY. May 6. Ilia Majestt'b (J. C. Williamson, Ltd.) 'l' De "panto" "Puss In Boots" ia now In its elghtn week, and Is going as strong ns a r> clone Mid drawing like a magnet. This nartlcular brand of humor, merriment, frolic and fun, •wrapped up In "Puss In Boots," aided and abetted by remarkable clever spe- cialty artists looks as If it 'will run for many weeks to crowded and delighted audi- ences. Theatre Rot ax (J. C. Williamson, Ltd.) —"Antony and Cleopatra," which has been declared to be tire apotheosis of spectacular effect and the summit of the mysticism 0 f the Bast, continues to enthral crowded houses. The magnificent staging, dresses and scenery are in keeping with the splendid act- ine of the principal performers, -who are headed by Oscar Aache and Lily Brayton, In the name parts. Csimsios (J. a Williamson, Ltd.)—"The Fortune Hunter" for the oast all weeks bas never failed to delight the crowds that fill every available inch of space at this theatre st tverr performance. Given lines and situa- tions such as Oil the script of "The Fortune Hunter," such capable artists as are led by Fred Nlblo could not fall to give a perform- ance of a high order. That they have done bo is evidenced by the fact that the play is still going well and strong, no less to the satisfaction of the management than to the delight of their patrons. AnetPHi (George Marlow, Ltd.)—The afar- low -management receipts prove the opposite- ness of the title of the sterling melodrama that nlgbtlv Alls the seating accommodation of the Adelphl to repletion. The call for variety demands that "The Woman Pays" must make way for that much-lauded pro- duction, "The Cowboy and the Squaw," next Saturday night. _ _ Palacb (Bert Bailey Co.)—"On Our Se- lection." This Australian melodrama is easily holding the record for crowded houses nightly. It would appear as If the Bert- Bailey Co. could easily turn their selections Into freehold and profitably hold it over for all time, with the mirth-provoking but philo- sophic sayings and doings of "Dad" and "Mum," and those who are on the land with thenv. Typical bush types, full of bush lore, bright and breezy, redolent of the way back, the characters "On Our Selection" are as Australian as our own kangaroo. Little Thbatbi (Direction Hugh Buck- ler).—"The Man on the Box" has packed this theatre for the past six weeks, and the last nights are now noted. "Fanny's First Flay" fs now being rehearsed, and the man- agement assures his patrons that he has a laugh winner that will prove an easy first to anything ever seen In Australia, Tivoi.1 (H. D. Mcintosh, mgr.)—"A Vision of Japan" is a novelty now being featured at this hosue of vaudeville. The gorgeousnesa of the settings, the brilliancy of the colorings, ami the effective electric lightings, glorifies the Eastern aemosphere, and materially as- sists the artists in a novelty turn that Is an assured success. The De Bruns a duo of dancers, revelled and rollicked In "Turkey Trots," "Tango Argentine," and other gro- tesque dances to the delight of the 'gods, out in their asore graceful dancing turns they were much better. Kitty Dale, another new- comer ot fine appearance, justly caught on from the moment she flooded the Tirol! with melody, and can be safely tagged aa a bit Osburn and Brooks laid down a clean comedy turn, and Whitehead, tenor, sang sweetly and succesjfuHy. A whole bunch of favor- ites, led by Madge Temple, Harry Corson Clarke, Margaret Dale Owen, Nells. Webb, the Jackson Family, and W1H Whitburn, are all In the limelight annexing applause. National (Direction, Ben. J. Fuller).— The rontanoye, two fair and charming speci- mens of femininity, are finding much favor with the patrons of this house. Their mu- sical turn on many instruments la as sweet as its authors and highly artistic The Quealeya— Harry and Nellie —are fairly good in sketch work, providing the goods the gods and goddesses just love. Paul Gorden, the wire wonder, makes good all the time. Spencer Kelly and Marion Wilder are still warbling to much approval, while Llstoa Chenowlth, May Thornton, Marvella's cocka- toos, and Mick, the metaphysical mlndread- ing dog, are all In a program of much merit. Alhahbba (Direction, J. L. Goodman).— Appreciative audiences have been In nightly attendance at tola theatre, where an excel- lent picture and vaudeville program is given. A company of colored minstrels bas just ar- rived, eight In number, and will make a first appearance to-morrow night MELBOURNE. Botai (J. a Williamson, Ltd.)—"Mile- stones" has had en extended ran of eight weeks, and la still drawing capacity bouses. "Man and Superman" will be staged for the first time on Monday evening. Julius Knight, at John Tanner; Irene Brown, aa Ann Whitehead. Has Majestx'b (J. C. Williamson, Ltd) —."The Count of Luxembourg" still con- tinues to draw the crowds who visit this theatre. The opera is a bright breezy, nan- Blcal play, well staged and acted, with plenty of catchy airs, which help In pleasing the music loving portion ot the audience In Its class it Is fairly considered to be well up to the modern standard It baa magnet draw- ing powers, which la the main consideration from a managerial point of view. Kino's Thiatm (J. C. Williamson, Ltd.) —A dramatic version of "Faust," described as the "world's greatest story," has been showing here for the past two weeks, having only a mixed reception. The patrons of this theatre evidently require to Se educated in the matter before being in a position to appreciate Goethe's masterpiece. Bijou (Direction, D. Solomon).—'The drafters," • two-act musical comedy, has Icon meeting with legitimate success the past month. The comedy is bright, witty, and clean, with very catchy music and local songs up-to-date, which seems to make tne burlesque so attractive. A musical event of great Interest will be the re-appearance of Clara Butt and Kcnner- ley Bumford, who, under the management of J. & H. Tait, are to open tha Auditorium, on May 17. Gaibti (Puller Brennan. Ltd.)—The Five Olracs made a welcome appearance here lost week, and their turn was Just what was wanted to put life into the show. The Era Colored Four produced a comedy sketch, en- titled "Sentinel Asleep," which contains a useless heap of patter. Carl Prim and bis clever monkey gave an interesting turn. Cowan and Austin still contains the weary gap of the previous week. Paul Jeacle. a youth who sings and whistles remarkably well, Is well worth listening to. Vaughan and Berry do good acrobatic work In a man- ner which gains well merited applause. Mor- row, a magician, introduces a novel turn, en- titled "The Mystery of the Bed Hand." It is a clever trick and boa the audience guess- lag. Olga Pennington sings sweetly. A word of praise Is also due to the ballet of four, who dance well, and aa they all have shapely limbs, they prove an attraction to those who are admirers of the female form divine. Ofbda nousB (Directon H. D. Mcltftosh). —There has been several changes here of late. Madge Temple being one of the most successful artists that bas ever appeared) <n Australia, was hurriedly sent over from Bydnev to belp the prog, along. Mis* Temple received quite aa ovation when she appeared, and had to sing six or her choicest ditties fceforo the audience would let her retire. Her dresses were of the most magnificent Mid costly description, and she wears a fresh cos- tume to each song. Of the old and fsmlllar brigade who are making good, mention must be made of our American friends, Taylor and Arnold, with tbse accomplished Mrs. Taylor, assisting In ragtime specialties. Baritone Raymond, assisted by Mils Roselle. an expert harpist, gave a delightful half an hour's entertainment. Music tnd song. Bayles and Warton. cross talk specialists; Marshall Crosby.

Marc Klaw, of Messrs. Klaw ft Erlanger, arrived from abroad May 31 oa the steamship Cedrlc. of the White Star Line. Ha left New York April 12, and since then bas been In London and on the Coutlncnt. Mr. Klaw spent a few weeks In motoring from Paris through the Riviera to Nice and back. He re- turns In the best of health. To a C'luteb representative Mr. Klaw said: "I met C. M. S. McLcllan and Ivan Caryll, who are the author and composer of 'Oh I Oh 1 Delphlne' and The Pink Lady.' In Pont I/Bvoque, Normnnrty, where they occupy the borne that formerly belonged to the painter, Gcrome. They are putting the finishing touches to their next musical play, 'The Little Cafe,' which we will produce early In the season. I think It will be found In every way to be a worthy successor to the other two remarkably popular plays. "Mr. McLcllan, by the way, after tbo com- pletion of 'The Little Cafe,' Is to temporarily give up bis work as a librettist and turn to tie serious drama, in which he is already well known as the author of 'Leah Klescn- na.' When his new play, which he already has mapped out In his mind, is completed, we will produce It, but that Is looking rather far ahead. "I brought with too the manuscript ot 'Der Neldeech* Hchnltterllnj.' or, as It will be known In this country, "rbs Envious But- terfly,' by Carl Llndau, with music by Bruce Oranlchstadten, "As I believe the cables have already an- nounced, we have secured Franz Lehar*s new play, "The Ideal Wife,' which is to be pre- sented In a few months in Berlin, with Kite Alder In the leading role. Frauleln Alder will come to this country later on, to appear under our management. Great things are expected of The Ideal Wife.' In It Mr. Ltnar returns to bis early and more popular form of composition. "We have a contract for 'The Circassian Beauty,' a musical play by Wlllner and Stcifan, which has been greatly heralded on the Continent "One contract Into which wo bare entered I think will be of much Interest and that la to bring over, in Its entirety, Michael Ftra- duy'a company and production, in 'Amassls,' the Egyptian musical play. The details of this are being arranged now, but tho date of production In New York has not been settled . "Arrangements arc in progress for Urn pre- sentation lu London of The Argyle Case,' the play at the Criterion, la which Mr. Robert Hllllard has had such a long and proBpcrout run. "1 saw very little startling or of profound Interest at tho theatres abroad; in fact, I only went a few times. The best play that I saw In London was undoubtedly Arnold Bennett's 'The Great Adventure.' Wlnthrop Ames baa secured this play, and be is very fortunate. "1 bad the good opportunity to see 'The Marriage Market' on its first night at Daly's Theatre, in London, and it was a great suc- cess. It will undoubtedly prove a splendid medium for Donald Brian, whom Charles Frohman la to present In It next season In this country. "At tha Shaftesbury Theatre, 'Oh I Obi Delphlne' Is still running, and will be seen la tho provinces of England this coming season. At the Royalty Theatre 'Milestones' bas passed Its five hundredth performance. "They do say that London does not al- together take to American plays. That la so, and I can also add that tncy do not taka to their own plays, so honors are even. Thero is ono thing about the theatre abroad that Impressed mo. and I am quite sure that it would not appeal to American playgoers. There is a strong tendancy In London and on the Continent to raise the price of seats, and I can boar personal testimony to this, for I paid $2.80 at the Renaissance, hi Varlt, for a seat, and l.t at Relnimrdt's Theatre, In Berlin. The tendancy lu this country oa the price question Is, happily, the other way. "I am glad to feel that tho outlook for next season In this country Is so encourag- ing. Our firm hat a number of Important novelties planned for the sow year." -*^a
