"THE GIRL IN THE TRAIN."

This morning at 9 o'clock tho box plans for tho coming season of the J. C. Williamson New Comic Opera Comrany will bo opened at Milner and Thompson's. It is said that unlike many musical comedies that aro simply a patchwork of vaudeville "Tho Girl in tho Train" has a more than usually coherent pint. Tho play is an adaptation from tho German by Victor Leon, who has placed the scenes of his story in Amsterdam. The lyrics are by Adrian Ross, author of much good work, and the music by the famous Viennese composer, Leo. Fall. This talented collaboration has, it is said, resulted in the launching of a musical play that has thoroughly hit the tastes of those who like their theatrical fare of a

crisp and sparkling nature. The piece is in two acts. The first shows tho interior of the Divorce Court in Amsterdam, and is said to 1m? a replica of that chamber. The second takes place at the mansion of Karri van Buren, tho hero of the divorce proceedings. Much interest is being evinced in the appearances of Miss Sybil Arurdale, Miss Vivian Talleur. and Mr Talleur Andrews, all of whom are English artists of reputation, and who will make their initial apnearances here in "The Girl in tho Train." "The Girl i n tho Train" will be played for the first four nights of a 13 nichK' reason, and ivil] be followed by "Niehtbirds." another opera that will be seen for the first time here.
