The Place Where the While Rata Dine "The Jack and the Beanstalk" pantomime closed the Sydney season Friday to make room for the H. B. Irving; season. The com- blnatlon goes to Brisbane, and then It is that the vaudeville houses In the north will get a kink. Willie Pantser. Doherty Sisters and Nell Kenyon are still the features of the panto. Sydney, July I. Newspaper opinion here- la greatly divided as to the ability of R. H. Irving In hla por- trayal of •Hamlet." Several acrlbea have been particularly scathing In their criticisms, some of them going ao far as to state that were it not for Irving pere's reputation the son would never have seen Australia as a star performer. Be this as It may, Irving's "Hamlet" Is a thing to remember. Wheth- er his Individuality will be capable of proving himself to be a master of character remains to be seen. I should Imagine, somehow, that he is a a specialist. Despite adverse criti- cism, Irving is creating a record in attend- ance. "The Gray Qrlsette." a frivolous offering, was put on at the Criterion Saturday by the Clarke ft Meynall comic opera company. Business good. "Our Miss Qlbba" is attracting big houses In Melbourne. Ethel Irving, from England, arrived in Mel- bourne last week. An enormous crowd gave her welcome to Australia. Last week I wrote the bills In detail, so will now only give the arrivals since then: 8plssell Bros, and Mack, who came with a big reputation, failed to sustain It There is no member of the team with any marked Individuality, but George Mack proved to be the best of the bunch. Though not a huge success, the act just about passed through.
