THE BAD GIRL OF THE FAMILY

"The Bad Girl of the Family," the sensational bedroom__drama to <be produced at the Opera House on Monday,* loth May, by George Marlow's Dramatic Company, has met with remarkable success in London, where it is being played simultaneously in two theatres and in the English provinces, where _several companies under the superyisiton of the author, Frederick Melville, are producing the play. A sensational feature of the drama is when the "bad girl" saves another girl from being marred to the man she detests, ;by, with admirable , ingeiuity, changing places with the 'bride, who is already on her father's arm. To the altar she goes all veiled in white, and on the steps of the altar, having been joined in holy matrimony, throws "back her veil just as the other bride comes on the scene to fall swoonitog into the arms of the sailor loevr, who also arrived quite unexpectedly to rescue lvs own beautiful girl. There are many other" sensational scenes— a terrible one when the husband and wife face each other on their marriage night — and the great bedroom scene, which has aroused so much controversy wherever the play has been produced. The play was /received with remarkable success at Auckland and Wellington. The hctx plan and day sale tickets at Kils-our's. On Tuesday and Wednesday the latest original 'London drama "The Antrel of His Dreams" \v : l] be presented. On Saturday (return' visit) "The. Bad .Girl' of the Family" will : be again repeated. * ■
