ANDERSON'S DRAMATIC COMPANY.
The box plan for the forthcoming visit of this popular organisation was opened yesterday, and during the day a large number of seats were booked. This was to be expected, as playgoers know that the name of Anderson is synonymous with up-to-datism in drama, mounting, and dressing. The Melbourne Argus, in criticising the first production in that city of " The Worst Woman in London," with which the season will be inaugurated on Tuesday night, said: "It is a powerful play. Love and hate, greed and jealousy are the passions which have been effectually dealt with, and the several leading characters who come under the description of virtuous and vicious are strongly contrasted. As in life itself, comedy and tragedy, laughter and tears are closely interwoven. A wholesale play, teeming with instructive observation of men and manners, pulsing with human nature, and adorned with a lively wit, and imagination allied to a command of natural pathos and deep feeling. The author has drawn his characters with a firm hand, and has provided dialogue that is terse, telling, and in proper places pleasantly humorous. The dramas-is constructed with a considerable degree of skill, being of the broadly human order."
