JOSIE MELVILLE TO STAR AGAIN
J.C.W. TOURING CO. Josie Alelville is to head a new J. C. Williamson company which is now being organised. This clever little actress returned to Australia some months ago under engagement to the firm, but because of ill-health was unable to take the role allotted to her, and was obliged to rest. Aliss Melville is to be Sally again. In the musical comedy of that name she had her first leading role, and the piece beat many duration records. Miss Melville will also appear in “The Girl Friend,” “Hold Everything,” and the new musical comedy, “Love Lies,” which is at present being played in Adelaide by White and Edgley’s company.
The company will open in Hobart on Easter Saturday. Stanley Grant is manager, and Victor Tatnall will produce. Among Josie Melville’s supporting artists will be Leonard Rich, the Fallow Twins, Ivy Parker, and Doris Hopkins. Fifty-four people will form this touring combination, which, after seasons in Hobart and Launceston, will play in Newcastle, and subsequently in Brisbane and other Queensland centres.
