“THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.”

Margaret Anglin’s programme for the balance of her Melbourne season has now been practically settled, and a very important and attractive programme will result. On Saturday, September 13 th, that powerful play “ The Thief ” gave place to “ The Truth,” a comedy by Clyde Pitch in which Margaret Anglin appears in a lighter role, but one no less captivating and compelling than Marise Voyain. This play, which was most successful both in London and New York, will in its turn give place on Saturday, September 26, to a very interesting production of “ The Taming of the Shrew,”

with Margaret Anglin as Katherine—her first Australian appearance in a Shakespearian character. It is many years since “ The Taming of the Shrew ” was done in the colonies, and with a strong cast in support and an elaborate scheme in mounting and dressing, the occasion should be a momentous one to all playgoers. After “ The Shrew ” both “ Zira ” and “ Camille ’’—two of Margaret Anglin’s most famous parts, will finish the season.
