"EYERYWOMAN."

This morning at 9 o'clock the box plans will be opened for the coming J. C. 'Williamson, Ltd.. dramatic season, commencing on Tuesday night next, the first six nights of which will bo devoted to performances of the gorgeously mounted dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman," mil which will close with three representations of Haddoii Chambers's comedydrama, "Passers-by." "Everywoman" has already been staged in every other city of the Dominion, the last to be captured bv Walter Browne's play !>cing Dunedin, where the local theatre is said to huvo been far too small to accommodate the crowds' attracted by this remarkable ro7iiance. In criticising o performance of

"Everywoman" one critic wrote:—"lt is a. pleasure to meet with a drama—which takes class as a modern morality playso earnest and definite in purpose and with such an inspiring aim as 'Everywoman,' and one,, moreover, that is capable of attracting genuine interest. It has power, ingenuity, literary quality of a high order, design and execution, mixed with a subtle .blend of truth and unrealities, and includes the whole philosophy of life for men and women. It i.s the most pretentious woft the author (Mr. Walter Browne) undertook, and it was Inexpressibly sad, tlmti. after all his trouble and working out, he should have died on the morning of I lie day il wa.s produced at the Herald Square Theatre, New York, where it resulted in a. legitimate success." The company will arrive here on Monday.
