THE BAD GIRL OF THE FAMILY

After achieving one of . the '.greatest melodramatic successes in Melbourne also at Auckland and Wellington, '"The Bad Girl of the' Family" will make her bow to Greymouth audience at the Opera House on Monday, May 15th. "The Bad Girl" ran for six weeks to big- business in Melbourne, while- phenomenal business was done in all the other Commonwealth centres; in fact so great ■has. teen its success that Mr Marlow reserved this drama for the opening of. the Adelphi Theatre, Sydney, on Wednesday, April loth. There will be about thirty seven travelling with the George Marlow Company through New Zealand this tour. ..Most • of these people will be new to the Dominion, while few of the company through last year will be seen on, this occasion. George Marlow some few years ago was working' for a few ■ shillings . a week, while he has known what it is to walk the streets of MclDourne wondering where, his next meal .was coming from.

Actresses of the calibre of Mis S; Ada Guildford. Miss Ida : Gresham.i and Miss Lily "Wiseman, the latter a daughter of the well-known actress' of that name, are with the Marlow Company for N»fw Zealand. Mr C. R. Stanford is also with this Company now. Miss Guildford is regarded as one of the best emotional [ actresses on the Australian- melo- \ dramatic stage. Mr S. Grant will ' again- be manager of the company, and Mr Karney Levy is in advance. Five months will be* spent in New Zealarid by the Marlow Company. The "Company will then open in Melbourne for a long season. The noted harem skirt will be seen in "The. Bad Girl of the Family.",... .
