VICTORIA'S THEATRE-GOERS LOVE GLADYS MONCRIEFF
I doubt if Victorians have taken any Australian singer, except Melba, to .their hearts as they have Gladys Mancrieff, who has only to appear on the stage to reeeive an ovation, says a writer in a Melbourne paper. Perhaps I should have said she only has to appear in public, because when she took her place in a box at the Apollo Theatre to witness an entertainment by the Serenaders the audience cheered her to the echo. Enthusiasm extended to the stage later when Syd. Beck stopped in the middle of a sketch and called to Gladys to ' sing, but she shook her head firmly. Then he. called on the originai "Red Shadow," William O 'Neill, who was with Gladys, and he stood up and sang the "Desert Song. " That fired the audience, who simply demanded a song from Gladys, and would take no denial, so at last she sang "Love Will Find a Way," from her favourito "Muid of the Mountains." They were satisfied then, and the show went on
