MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. "Diggers," as th'e name implies, is the story of the Australian soldier, a lovable chap, who has justly earned the plaudits of the world for hi§ bravery in the field of battle and remarkahle sense of humouf wh'en not grappling with the more serious things in life. The action of the picture c-entres mainly about the lighter side'-of things. In our most tragic moments there is always a fine. streak of wh'olesome comedy. This has been iably lextended by the.director of this production, and the result is a work of comedy, wifh occasional pathos,, which will immortalise the Australian isoldier for all time. The exploits of two carefree soldiers, "Chic" Williams and "Joe" Mnlga, through the greiat war, their continual brushes with those in authority, their antics while on leave— with permission and without — will reduce any audience to a state of hysteria. It is the typ'e .of picture that is awaited by lany audience. The "shorts" include "Oh! What a Night," a comedy sketch, with George Wallace; "Barrier Reef," "Jack O'Hagan," Strad Trio; Geo. Moon and Stan Ba.y, simultaneous dancers; Minnie Love in eharaeter impersonations; Melbourne scenic; Ada Reeve, in a comedy sketch, "In the Future."
