That Bad Girl! Mr Duncan Neven writes me as follows: —The biggest success of’ recent years in the dramatic line is undoubtedly “The Bad Girl of the Family.” This piece is simply teeming with thrilling situations, but the Bad Girl is not altogether bad, notwithstanding that there is a big dormitory scene, which is invaded by the police, who are overwhelmed by a number of girls: there is a big wedding scene, where the bad girl, to secure her rights, enters into a subterfuge to marry a man who has forced another girl to marry him, because of the indebtedness of her father, while there is another bedroom scene where the good and the bad girl in the drama are seen doing their toilette. It is in this scene that one of the most stirring incidents of the drama occurs: hence the generality accepted title the “remarkable bedroom drama,” It is now in its sixth week in Melbourne, the same as J. C. Williamson’s big pantomime, and the only two pieces at present here with such runs to their credit, and both going strong. It will be the opening play for the Marlow Company's tour through New Zealand.
