THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.
This evening Charles Hawtrey’s masterpiece “The Private Secretary” will be staged. This gives Mr Thornton a rare chance as the milk and water curate, a character which, by the way, is said to be taken from real life. It is a laughter maker extraordinary and is fairly certain to fill the house for the remaining nights of the season, which comes to an end on Saturday. If there is any truth in ;he assertion that a good laugh is one of tne finest tonics imaginable, then of a surety the doctors must be having a dull time while Frank Thornton remains at His Majesty’s. The company leave for Sydney on Monday, opening at the Palace Theatre on September st'h, where they will remain until October 9th. Afterwards a tour of Queensland will be undertaken, the company eventually opening in Melbourne on November 28th.
