For years the enterprising proprietors of vaudeville circuits have looked to Amelca for their "best seller" acts, with the result that the Australian thea- tre-going public have come to look in the theatrical advertisements for the "Straight from the United States" line after the merits of the different performers. Dut It was only a matter of a few months ago that J. C. Williamson, Ltd., commenced to star actors and actresses from America in plays that had proved successful in New York. Of course, we knew and were grateful for powerful Satisfied that American plays were what the public wanted, the J. C. Williamson Co. imported another organization with Muriel Starr at the head to play "Within the Law." Triumph followed triumph. After proving a box office success in every city in Australia "Within the Law" was given a revival In the principal cities. The Muriel Starr Com- pany, which includes Mary Worth, Lincoln Plumer and E. W. Morrison, are at present drawing packed houses at the Sydney Criterion with the "Yellow Ticket." Naturally enough, the present is not a very good time in the theatrical profession be- Classy Theatrical Costumes and Headwear STAGE, STREET, EVENING GOWNS and HATS THE BERG-ZAL CO. 153 Weat 44th St (East of Broadway) New York City Then* Bryant MM OUR LEADER A SJ£Jg $10.00 MME.

Now all over Australia and New Zea- land we have regular American plays and none of the big cities are content unless an American play with real American people are catering to their tastes. The pioneer play of this new era in Aus- tralian theatre history was the George M. Cohan production, "Get Rich Quick Walllng- cause Australia is bearing Its share of the world's troubles caused by the war. That a company playing "The Yellow Ticket" can draw packed houses at a time when money Is more or loss tight speaks well for the prin- cipals. The war was responsible for big changes In the program of the Niblo-Cohan company, which returned here from New Zealand yes- terday.

"Walllngford" came to Sydney at a bad time for theatres. The people had had a lot of high class stuff to choose from and had become more or less blase in their tastes. But "Walllngford" caught them. It had the record run of any comedy In Sydney, holding the boards at the Criterion for 15 weeks. It went round the Williamson time and scored successes every- where.

The vaudeville theatres continue almost un- interruptedly good business. At the Sydney Tlvoll, while Paul Clnquevalll is the topllner, Americans are well represented. One of the best acts I have seen In the dancing line, and we have had quite a surfeit of American dancers over here.
