“THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER.”
LAST FEW NIGHTS “The Chocolate. Soldier” has made his warlike presence felt at His Majesty’s during the holidays, crowded audiences being the order of each performance. Miss Amy Murphy invests the part of Nadina with due charm, and is enmeshing herself in the chains of popularity by her exquisite singing and artistic acting. Mr. Leslie Gaze, the chocolate soldier materialised, is proving another strong favourite, while Miss Rita Presano, Miss Mabel Graham, Mr. Noel Fleming, Mr. Albert Kavanagh, and Mr. Frank Wilson assist in making an harmonious whole in which no flaw could be picked. With sparkling music, breezy dialogue, and finished artistes the “Chocolate
Soldier” has every essential to commend it to the theatre-lover, and judging by its reception it bids fair to out-rival any of its predecessors in the comic opera line. It can, only be (presented four more nights, so visitors to town should take note.
