Thus a Southern paper commenting on “The Dandies” performance: —“The programme swings along so trippingly that even the clock itselt seems surprised when the final curtain warns people that it is time to leave.” * * ♦ * Adolf Klauber in the New York “Times” repeats a clever bit of repartee from Wilton Lackaye, who enjoys the distinction of being one of the few actors capable of making a certain speech worth listening to. Asked if he thought that a certain manager could produce “Les Miserables,” Mr. Lackaye retorted. “ Produce it, no. He can’t even pronounce it.” * * ♦ * “ Do you know that I have never felt such exhilaration in playing a part as I have experienced in ‘Milestones’? ’ said Mr. Julius Knight to an Australian pressman. “On the opening night, for example, before the second act was half way through I felt that we had hit playgoers hard, and that the piece was a success. All this has an effect on our acting,, and if the audience have the opinion that our acting is all it should be, they are helping us to make it so by their sympathy and approval.” ” Mile stones” will be over here shortly.
