MISS ANGLIN’S FAREWELL.

It was a happy inspiration on the part of the management to arrange for Miss Margaret Anglin’s last appearances in Australia in two of her finest impersonations. At the matinee and in the evening of December 16 she played Becky Warder in Clyde Fitch’s brilliant comedy, “The Truth,’’ and oh December 17 and 18 she appeared as Marise Voyson in Bernstein's moving drama, “ The Thief,’’ displaying in both the magnetic charm and absolute naturalness and simplicity which have won for her so high a place in the favour of Australian audiences. On the closing night the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and a crowded house would not be appeased until the popular American star replied to the unabated applause in a sympathetic little impromptu speech; and Mr. Henry Kolker was also prevailed upon to say a few words of farewell. On December 19, Miss Anglin, with her sister Eileen, left Sydney in the Mongolia for a holiday trip to Europe, part of which is to be spent in Egypt. Meantime, Miss Ola Humphrey takes her place as leading lady, and, together with Mr. Kolker, Mr. Titheradge, and the other members of the company, left for New Zealand in the Maheno on the same date. The company opened their tour on Boxing Night at Wellington.
