"MOLLY JBAWN."

Ihere is an indefinable charm about ' Plays like "Molly liawn" that never I tails to draw audiences in these times ' when the public taste has been vitiated ' by the neurotic, the erotic, and the ' ' tommy-rotic."

Franklin allows the tale to go by iiiichallenged, but after reorettmg the mood demands that she either legalise her lie, or live up to it She refuses to do either, with the result that ±<rankhn engages in some man tactics. As in all proper novels the two principal characters realise they are meant for each other, and all ends well Miss Dons Duane, who carries the role or Beatrice, is a charming younc English actress. She played in the original New York production, and also had a most successful career on the English stage before roming to Australia. Cast as Pelham Franklin is Eric Harrison, an English comedy actor. The remaining cast portraying this delightful oomedv is exceptionally stron». ■" The box plan for the performance "is at Everybody's Sweet Store.

And miles1 you eliminate the cause of rheumatisn you can never get permanent relief. Al pams of Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gout etc., are caused by an excess of uric acid in the system. If you can neutralise and dispel this action, your pains will cease, swelling will disappear and you will regain your old freedom of action. EHEUMO taken internally goes right to the seat of the trouble i.e., it attacks the excess uric acid neutralises it. and seldom fails to give relief almost immediately. Price 4s 6d from all chemists.
