J. C. WILLIAMSON LTD. _ 'i COMEDY COMPANY COMING. “A CUCKOO IN THE NEST.” ' Few people could read: the Ben. Travers farce-novel; “ A Cuckoo in the Nest” without; laughing for.hours and it is said that the, stage version, which is to be produced at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday evening next by the J. C. Williamson Ltd. New English Comedy Company, is even funnier than the book. Witty'' racy dialogue and uproarious farce are the distinguishing feature of “A Cuckoo in the Nest,” in which the J. C. Williamson New English Comedy company are all seen at their very best. The plot is mainly concerned with the false suspicions aroused by a night at an inn. The supposed delinquents are two married people, who are “bushed” as the result of a break-down. Not being married to one another, they have to face a lot of misconstruction. When bedtime comes Mrs Hickelt goes upstairs to the room allocated to her, I whilst Peter lias to scout round for somewliere to lay liis monocled bead. Eventually he has to seek refuge in the bedroom with Mrs Hickett. She. lying placidly in the bed, bids him. curl himself-up on the floor and in looking for a suitable spot be knocks over portion of the furniture which disturb? the sick lady next door. In the midst of. the uproar Peter’s mother-in-law and her husband burst in and the sitnntions which follow are said to b» the funniest ever witnessed on the stage. Only one performance can lie staged of “A Cuckoo in the. Nest.” Box plans are now open at Miss Mclntosh’s.
