DECIDES TO CLOSE
BUT CHANGES HER MIND. NELLIE BRAMLEY IN SYDNEY. SYDNEY, June T 9. Miss Nellie Bramley decided on Friday to abandon her programme of plays at the Grand Opera House because of dwindling audiences. She was convinced that the depression had restricted spending on amusements, and without speaking bitterly of the encroachment of talkies or lack of public support she decided to make her last appearance in fier present series of plays last night. Her decision, if • put into effect, would have meant that 50 people, including cast and orchestra, would have been out of work. Miss Bramley reflected on their plight, and at 1 p.m. yesterday decided, as she expressed it last night, “to be like Amy Johnson, and see it through." Gloom turned to joy for a cast of 16, including six girls and four members of an orchestra, and other “front of the house” people. To a satisfactory house last night Miss Bramley presented “Anne, 100 Per Cent.,” and on Monday her company will play “The Creaking Chair."
