"Follow Through," which proved an outstanding success in London and Now York. 44 Tho music in 'l'ollow Through,''' wrote a Sydney critic, "is tuneful and attractive, and it is richly endowed with clever and genuinely humorous comedy. Tho ballets, too, furnish tho talented girls with an abundance of opportunities for the display of their graceful dancing. Charming, too, are the group scenes depicting Femina's toilette in 1908 with quaint frocks and hats all askew." "Tho authors of 'l' ollow Through,' " wrote a Melbourne critic 44 have done well in creating a number of new and original golf jokes, and tho scene in the ladies' dressing room at the golf house is 0110 of the most amusing concocted for a musical comedy. Ihe cast includes Cecil Kcllaway, Leo I'ranklin, Frank Leighton, Dulcie Davenport, Jean Duncan, Mona Zeppel, Lived Jay, Arthur Cornell, Mary Rigby and others.
