The Greenwoods

We bave great pleasure iv reminding our readers that the above popular oompany opens here to night. The Misses Greenwood j are famed throughout Australasia for their j singing powers. They first made their appearance in public some ten years ago. They were then only children, but ohildren i of great ability, possessing both musioal and dramatic talent in a high degree. Milton playgoers most likely remember the visit they paid here, and it will be interesting to note, to-night, how time, experience, and training have perfected the natural talents chey exhibited when young. Mlsb MaribeL the elder of the two Bisters haa a stately and charming presence, and a high soprano voice of wonderful power and culture. She is alao a vory olever actress and her contributions tbia evening, both local and dramatic, should be moat pleasing. Her sisters, Agatha and Roberta, are not one whit behind their elder in voice culture and power. Miss Xgatha ie a soprano, while Miss Roberta* ia on: <>f those beautiful rioh contraltos whioh we all delight to hoar. Fisidea the musioal itemß advertised for tonight, the youug ladies, with the aasiatanoe of their brother, Mr B >b, will play that moat oh»rmlng of one uc: comedies entitled " Barbara" written ly that prince of atoryette writers Jerome K. Jerome. AU who have aeen this pretty little piece pronounced it a moat del'ghtful interlude:, aud it is as epigrammatic aa it i 3 sparkling. Elsowhare, in our advertising column, will be found a j full, programme of tonight's performance j and we strongly advise all lovers of real artistic work 1 1 be present. It beaovej i Milton playgoers not to mias seeing thefe j talented »rtiata, who have been recognised and eulogi.ed by Buoh able critics as Edward Reminyt, Louiae Pomer.y, the critica of Melbourne ' Age ' and ' Argua ' and a boat of artistic people who all predicted a great future for these youug iadieß.
