MOONDYNE.
“ Moondyne, the Gold King,” the sensational drama to be staged on Saturday evening by the Taylor-Carriugton Company, is a play founded on fact and written round a number of incidents in the life of the once famous Western Australian outlaw of whom Boyle O’Reilly has written so much. Moondyne was transported to Western Australia for a crime of which he was innocent, and his daring escapes from prison, his life among the natives, together with the fact that he was the first white man to discover gold in Western Australia, furnish excellent material for stage purposes and give many and varied opportunities for scenic display of the most realistic description, the most striking of which are “The Convict Camp,” “ Millbank Prison,” deck of the “ Convict Ship,” and “Fremantle,” Western Australia.
