"JOHNNY, GET YOUR GUN."
The Auckland "Herald," ; speaking of the opening performance in that city of Mr. Louis Bennison, says:—"The first night of "Johnny, Get Your Gun" was a complete success. As a farce and as a' drama, the play strikes out on uncharted lines', gathering -a wealth' of refreshing comedy' and vital action in its folds.' Its outstanding object is to exploit the possibilities of fun and so pil» absurdity upon absurdity that every minute of the play contains its laugh." J. C. Williamson's company, supporting Mr. Bennison includes many of the bestknown people on the Australian stage, the principal being George Blunt, Mar-' jorie Bennett, Dorothy Seaoombe, Leslie Victor, George Bryant, Roger Barry, Nellie Mortyne, Gwen Burroughs,-H. H. Wallace, Vivian Edwards, J. B. Atholwood, Marie Eaton, Lou Vernon, A. Barbares, and Lillian Nightingale. The season, opens on Tuesday next at the, Grand Opera House, and the box plans for the seven nights .of "Johnny Get Your Gun" open on Friday at The Bri»tol. '
