"SALLY."

The J. C. Williamson directors announce the first production of "Sally." tiie phenomenally successful musical play, at the Grand Opera House on Saturday evening. The critic of the Sydney "Herald" writes:—"Seldom has the Theatre Royal hold such a large or such a hopefully expectant audience as that which assembled to witness' t!yj opening performance of the musical comedy 'Sally.' The auditorium was full in every part. Doubtless this had a potent influence in enabling every one of the performers to. attain the highest standard in song, dance, and dialogue, and thus it contributed largely fo the great success of the evening. Every "ingredient which was necessary to ensure an attractive play was present. Brilliant lighting, magnificent costuming, and wonderfully artistic scenery were supplemented by alluring music." excellent staging, graceful and rhythmic dancing, effective vocalism, realistic acting— especially .on , the part ■of Miss Josie Melville—and luscious comedy. The tableau-and the choruses were arranged with consummate skill, everything was new and magnificent, and the' result wj-.s the absolute smoothness with which the complicated scenes and pageants were manipulated, and the easy and v^ural way in which principals and subordinates sustained their varying roles." The box plans for the first six nights will be opened at The Bristol on Wednesday morning.
