THEATRE BOOM
REVIVAL IN AUSTRALIA .HIGH-PRICED PERFORMERS Writing to a friend in Hamilton, Sergeant M. Reddy, formerly prominent on the vaudeville stage in Australia and New Zealand and now director of a concert party entertaining the Australian "troops, said: "Things theatrical in Australia are booming. There are many shows and plenty of work for performers. Actors’ salaries have gone sky-high, and you couldn’t, get a smile out of any medi-
oere performer under £3O or £4O a week. . . . Gladys Moncrieff, after a very successful tour of the battle areas, heads the cast in a revival of ‘Katinka' in Melbourne.”
