AMUSEMENTS. "JOURNEY'S END." j FIRST N.Z. PRODUCTION, TO-NIGHT AT 8.15. IMPORTANT The only occasion in Melbourne when there were any Vacant Seats was on the Opening Night and this has been the Experience wherever "Journey's End" hag been produced. "JOURNEY'S END." WONDERFUL REALISM, GREAT DRAMA, GENUINE COMEDY. Each of the officers R. C. Sherriff has created in ''Journey's End" stands for something Individually so fine that it is difficult to choose among them. For all his hard drinking to steady his shattered nerves Captain Stanhope is a resolute leader of men, sportsmanlike, unassuming. For all his amusing obtuseness the corpulent Lieutenant Trotter is responsible and good-natured under trying ordeals. Lieutenant Raleigh becomes a hero by instinctively following the rules of fair play he has learned on the playfields of England. And Lieutenant Osborne is a schoolboy, enriched, sweetened and exalted by maturity, gentle and wise—a rare figure in the byways of universal life. Though a play of the war, "JOURNEY'S END" has nothing of the horrors or bitterness of war. Moreover, it contains a genuine comedy that brings countless laughs. — HIS MAJESTY'S.Direction: J. C.
