"KID BOOTS."
The Grand Opera House next Wednesday- should witness a scene of "joy unrestrained," being the occasion of the first production in Wellington of "Kid Boots," the latest J. C. Williamson big musical comedy surprise. It will also signal the return of Miss Josie Melville and Mr. George Gee, than whom no greater favourites have ever appeared in this city. Of the interpretation of this apparently irresistible play an Australian leading critic writes:—"The acting of everyone on the stage, especially the tense excitement over the final of the championship game, was most convincing, and the "coconut ball" (a brilliant fancy dress party with which the comedy ends) made a fitting climax. Josie Melville has never sung or danced more delightfully than as Polly Pendleton, who looked charming in her dainty sports frock, and even more so in the rose-coloured evening frocks of later scenes, through which she flitted like a dainty Dresden china figure." Taken by and large,' "Kid Boots" is a thing of beauty, and should be a joy to playgoers for many moons to come. The box plans will be opened at The Bristol on Monday morning.
