‘SCANDAL’
COSMO HAMILTON’S PLAY. After a most successful tour throughout Australia and New Zealand ’Scandal’ returns to His Majesty’s for a throe-night season, commencing Thursday, April 26, and will be presented under the banner.of Harry I. Cohen, by arrangement with J. 0. Williamson, Ltd. ‘Scandal,’ which is in three acts, is tho pleasantly shocking tale of what happens to a young girl, who disregarded convention in order to save herself from a compromising situation. Beatrice Vanderdyke, the girl, announces to her relatives that she is wedded to Pelham Franklin,. Franklin allows her tale to go by unchallenged, but, later^regretting the moodi, demands that she either legalise their tie or live up to it. She refuses to do either, with the result that Franklin engages in cave-man tactics. As in all proper novels, the two principal characters realise they are meant for each other, and all ends well. Miss Doris Duane, who carries- the role of Beatrice, is a charming young English actress. She played in the original New York production, and also had a most successful career on the English stage before coming to Australia. Cast as Pelham Franklin is Eric Harrison, an English comedy actor. The remaining cast portraying this delightful comedy is exceptionally strong. The box plans for the season will open at The Bristol on Friday morning.
