"A MESSAGE FROM MARS."
Played by the Greig-Holloway Company at the Tivoli Theatre, the old favourite, "A Message From Mars," carries an instant appeal, which finds its way into most hearts. Most of its popularity comes from the very human, as well as the supernatural, note, which it strikes and maintains until the end- of the play. Throughout, the' acting of the stars and their assisting company is excellent, and interest does not-flag for a moment. The outstanding performance is that of Richard Webster in the part of Horace Parker. Under the stern teachings of The Messenger, his crust of selfishness is penetrated and finally vanishes to reveal an ordinary human being, deserving and giving sympathy; Robert Greig is a most imposing Messenger, and P. L. Julian and Beatrice Hplloway are equally convincing.' "A Message From Mars" will be^repeated each evening this week. ' "Never Say Die" is announced, for next Saturday at 2.30 p.m. This will be presented by arrangement with J. C. Williamson, Ltd., and is considered to be, the funniest comedy in the. company s repertoire^ . ■ .
