LESLIE HOLLAND

Leslie Holland, who is to appear in J. C. Williamson Ltd.’s spectacular production of “The Dubarry,” attributes his success to hard work. To-day his deportment is as youthful and full of vigour and his dancing as technically perfect jas ever, To maintain this standard of health and activity he still practices his dancing and physical exercises daily. Since his first appearance in these parts as Horace Ventimore in “The Brass Bottle,” he has played many fine parts, including Crumpet in “The Maid of the Mountains,” with Gladys Monerieff; in the last scene of “Lilac Time,” which by an appearance confined to a few brief lines he completely lifted the artistic excellence of the atmosphere to a very high level; Mr Hook (“Miss Hook of Holland”), with Jack Cannot, Frank Greene, Olive I Godwin, Claude Bantock; Lord Hurlingham (“The Marriage Market”), with Derek Hudson, Phil. Smith, Thelma Raye, Ethel Cadman and Maggie Dickinson; Ichabod, Bronson (“Belle of New York”), with Ethel Cadman as the Belle, Flo. Young as Cora, Minnie Love as Fifi, Reg. Roberts as Harry. He made another hit in the role of the old Colonel with Emelie Polini in “French Leave.” He-supported Beppie de Vries as Maurepas in “Madame Pompadour.” Other of his notable roles include Hon. Hugliie Pierrepoint in “Our Miss Gibbs”; Tony Chute in “The Quaker Girl”; and Prince Danilo in “The Merry Widow.”
