"YOU'RE IN LOVE."
The box plans for the six productions of the musical comedy "You're In Love" (which commences at the Grand Opera House on Saturday) opened at the Bristol Piano Company this morning. "It is doubtful," said a Sydney critic, "if there has ever been a musical comedy with more artistic lighting than 'You're In Live.'" The lights are constantly changing, the same critic goes on to remark, and always to meet, the mood of the moment, whether expressed in song or situation. For example, the warm glow of the opening Hawaiian dance becomes a hard, searching giara when Miss Connie Ediss tells why she is a grass widow. Then, in the "Ha Will Understand" number, the light is softly suffused, and in the encore the stage 'is gloomed in mdefiniteness, and the faces of the chorus are shown by a glare from bow]s they carry in their hands. The next, well-lit scene is that in which Miss Madge Elliott does her beautiful "Rose Dance." It is an effective piece of pictorial composition. Miss Maude Fane sings in an amber spot-light, and behind, in the arch of the sun parlour, the chorus are bathed in idealised sunshine. Only six performances can be given of "You're In Love," which will be followed by "Canary Cottage and "So Long, Letty "■'
