"WEE" GEORGIE WOOD

J. G. WILLIAK3OH VAUDEVILLE The “ Peter Pan ” of vaudeville, “Wee” Georgie Wood, heads a company of international vaudeville, which inaugurates a season at His Majesty’s Theatre on Monday next, appearing for six nights and two matinees. “ Wee ” Georgie Wood is a comedian who is supported by his own company, including Dolly liarmer and Tom Blacklock. Ho is one of London’s most popular vaudeville artists, and is also one of the biggest favorites in pantomime every year in England. His return visits to Sydney and Melbourne have boon just a series of successes. During bis visit to this city changes of programme will be given. The sketches to be pros"nled will be selected from ‘ Black Hand George,’ ‘Nobody Loves Mo,’ and ‘His hirst Love.’ The Sydney ‘Bulletin’ says; “Woo Goorgio Mood, at the Tivoli, ‘ gets ’ an absorbed audience every day and night. When the (apparently) small boy’s troubles dissolve in tears there is not a woman in the house but yearns to mother the poor lamb, and not a man who does not feel like dad when ho says

‘There, go to your mother, old sou.’ The house comes to itself with a selfconscious jerk to iiud it has been leaning forward in a hypnotised way leati.v to help the sobbing kid. One woman said; 1 It is his chubby little Knees Unit get me, and the way his cropped nansticks out at the back of bis head ’ — and no grown-up owns such a trembly pointed chin and smibby nose. ’ The J. C. Williamson international vaudeville acts supporting “ Wee ” Gt or-no Wood include the “Beau liuim:n: , l of vaudeville, Billy Maloney, jn ap-lo-dato songs and dances. From the -MiasKtoll circuit aro the Aldor Trio. They stage the latest dancing and aerobatic novelty. Somethin'! entirely new is Frank’s Canine Statuary, a distinctly quaint and appealing act. Mane .Lav.ton, with her piano and harp, is a star from the most exclusive corners of the vaudeville world. A versatile yiohiiist is Jay Whiddon, who is original in everything ho does. The special orchestra is under the baton of Mr A. G. Frost. Eddie Leslie, the Hotel Cecil, London, appears with Ins dance jazz orchestra, the Columbia Syucopators. A Scottish comedian, with a big English and Continental reputation is Neil M‘Kay. The box plans for the season open to-morrow at The Bristol.
