J.C.W. PLANS

J. C. WILLIAMSON, LTD., announce a number of changes at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, during the rest of the year. “The Merry Widow” will follow “Tlie Gipsy Princess.” No definite date has yet been fixed. Miss Maria Elsner will appear as the widow; Mr. Charles Heslop as Prince Danilo; and Miss Marie Bremner as Natalie. Others in the cast will include Mr. Cecil Kellaway, Miss Lois Green, Mr. Arthur Clarke, and Mr. Sidney Wheeler. “The Merry Widow” will be followed by the return of the company which has Miss Ethel Morrison, Miss Elaine Hammill, Messrs. Campbell Copelin, Harvey Adams and Lloyd Lamble, Miss Phyllis Baker, and Miss Katie Towers in the cast. On September 5 the dancer, La Meri, now appearing in New Zealand will open a fortnight’s season. The musical comedy company now in Cairns, Queensland, will open in “Yes, Madam” after La Meri. Miss Ethel Morrison will join this company. On November 1, the Gilbert and Sullivan company will appear in brief revivals of the Savoy operas, with the added attractions of “Paul Jones” and “Merrie England,” and probably “Lilac Time.” Dates for New Zealand tours do not appear to have been decided upon yet.
