"KID BOOTS."

i~ * NINETEEN HOLES OF JOLLITY. The J. C. Williamson Premier Musical Comedy Company mil make a welcome reappearance at the Theatre Royal on Saturday next in the phenomenally successful play, "Kid Boots" with Josie Melville as "Polly Pendleton" and George Gee as "Kid Boots," the master caddie. Thus the critic of the Melbourne "Herald" of this brilliant rmißica-! comedy:— , "The Theatre Royal was crowded when tne first performance of J. C. -Williamsons new piav, 'Kid Boots,' was given and the enthusiasm aroused by the first glimpse of the opening scene continued to increase until the close, when the curtain bad to be rawed tco many times for a count to be kept, ana a wealth of flowers and other gats wero handed on to the stage. There is every prospect of a long and successful run for nja Boots' and Melbourne was fortunate in witnessing its brilliant introduction. The story is breezy and the scenery in keeping—wide expanses of sunlit country alternating with wonderful night scenes. There is eome light and pleasing music, and much admirable comedy. The dancing is superb and the dressing and colour 6c hemes all through vividly beautiful. Miss 'Josie Melville, Australia's much loved little star, has a part which suits her dainty personality and appealing charm exactly, and Mr George Gee in the name part, as I£id Boots' has endless opportunities for humour, and makes the most ci every one in his own irresistibly effective way. A cast of supreme merit interprets the pl«v. This includes George Crotty, George Vollaire, Fie'd Fisher, Paul Plunkett, Reginald Roberts, Gladys Hermes, Nellie Hutton, Adele Crane. As 'Kid Boots,' Mr George Gee had the biggest part in the play, and the big part of hk iife. As for the wonderful little Australian star, Miss Josie Melville, who was loved everywhere, there is no need to speak." The box plans for "Kid Boots" will bo opened at The Bristol Piano Co., Thursday morning next at 9 o'clock. "Kid Boots" ■mil be played for the first eight nights.
