“THE PATSY” OPENS AT THEATRE ROYAL NEXT SATURDAY.
“ The Patsy,” which is to be staged by the J. C. Williamson, Ltd., management at the Theatre Royal on Saturdaynext, has proved the most successful play of its kind ever staged by the J. C. Williamson, Ltd., management in either Sydney or Melbourne, where it broke all known records for comedy productions. “The author ‘ The Patsy,’ ” wrote a critic, recently, “ has filled it with good things, like the pat-a-cake baker man did, and he might have made it specially to put. on the window sill for Miss Irene Homer, so happily does she fit the vole. In every part of her performance she is neat, sure and effortless and she exercises a personality like a kiss from Cinderella.” Tt is said that Mr A. S. Byron’s fine character acting in the role of the father of the “ Patsy ” has stamped him as one of the best artists who has ever appeared in Australia, and Mr Brandon Peters, who was personally selected by Sir George Tallis for the part of Tony Anderson, is also a most delightful American actor. Miss Eileen Sparks, Mr Sam Wren and Miss Vera Gerald do admirable work. Only a limited number of performances can be staged of ” The Patsy,” for which the box plans open on Thursday.
