MISS MARIE NEY.

IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. (nou OC* OW* COEBISPOWDKHT.) LONDON, January 7. Miss Marie Ney, the talented New Zealand actress, and one of 'the most versatile on the London stage, has registered yet another artistic triumph. The limited run of Frank Vosper's tense drama "People Like Us," which was made possible by the Arts Theatre Club, after its official ban, is over; the run of the same author's comedy "Murder on the Second Floor," at the Lyric, appears likely to be a long one. Fresh from her great triumph in the very exacting lead in the drama, Miss Ney transferred in the space of a few hours to the lead in the comedy, and appeared, in two performances on the one day. The two parts in the two plays are absolutely different, yet Miss Ney 13 as ideal in the one as in the other. Her power of characterisation is very great, and she is coming more and more into the limelight, and into the minds of all the critics. To-day the newspaper headlines record "Miss Ney's New Triumph."
