An excellent company will be seen in the cast while the mounting will h& a special feature, the whole of the scenery having been newly painted by Mr H. Whaite just prior to their leaving Australia. This play is from the pen of Mr Robert Gauthony, and produced by arrangement with Messrs Charles i Hawtrey and Frank Curzon. Mr ' George Cross will essay the role of Horace Parker, the selfish being whom the Message from Mars (Mr Wilton Power) has undertaken to reform.
