"THE SIGN ON THE DOOR."

On Friday, evening next, in the Opera House, Messrs J. C. Williamson .Ltd., present their specially augmented dramatic company headed by the I JSTw 6 TM£ U£ e ganaford, together | with W. J. Kelly, Kenneth Brampton, Doris Duane, Harold Moran r Herbert Leigh Sydney Stirling, and the,members of the popular "Scandal"' company ha£ mng Pollock's mystery drama, The Sign on the Door." This play has taken London by storm, and is still the" biggest dramatic success of the present season. - The Chronicle says: t rom the commencement of the prologue it was felt that 'The Sign o ft the" Door' had gripped the audience. No greater compliment could be paid than to say that every scene was played in a hushed house until the fall of the curtain brought a veritable tornado of applause." The story shows that villainy may be perpetrated in f ashionabie i evening clothes just as easily as in the proverbial low-down gambling houses1 and the like If none of us know the! villain m real life, we easily recognise ! him m the theatre, and in the new drama Charming Pollock approximates a complete portrait of him in Frank Devereux, the adventurer. If one wishes to become conversant with this kind or vUiainy one has to visualise it and see the rogue at his nefarious pastime. ! Ihe play will be exceptionally well staged and produced. The box plan opens on Wednesday morning at Everybody's Sweetshop,
