"KID BOOTS."

The following is th« opinion of the Melbourne "Herald" critic of "Kid Boots," the new J. C. Williamson musical comedy to be seen here on Wednesday next at the Grand Opera llouae :—" 'Kid Boots' is quite the most elaborately produced musical comedy that has been staged in Australia. It Is like being at a party at which the hostess is determined that no one will be given any time to think they are being, bored. She has provided against, every possible pause. Instead of feeling, as sometimes is the case, that they have not had their moneys worth, tho audiences at 'Kid Boots' will go away feeling embarrassed at having been given such quantity for their money. The theme of 'Kid Boots' is very similar to that of 'Going Up ' Two men are in love with the same girl, anc^ a golf match is arranged with thu girl's hand as a side stake. Both players are experts, but the audience sees only two strokes of the match, and" the hero loses. His defeat is due to the fact that a loaded golf ball, which performs some amazing antics on the green, had been wished on to the wrong player. George Gee, who plays 'Kid Boots/ is a very skilled comedian, who can get the most out of a funny line or a funny situation. Josie Melville captivated her audience as 'PoDy Pendleton' —her naivette and refined comedy being artistic and delightfully refreshing. But when she dances that is her real medium of expression—then she is alive, appealing." The box plans will be opened at the Bristol on Monday moming.
