“A WOMAN OF IMPULSE.”

TOWN HALL, TO-NIGHT

Those playgoers of Stratford who remember the excellent interpretation given to the delightful play “Lover’s Lane,” by the Plimmer-Denniston Company through this country some two years ago will be delighted to have the opportunity of once more renewing acquaintance with such a really meritorious combination. Since then there has been a change in the proprietary of the company, and as the Hamilton-Plimmer Company they have been delighting Australian and New Zealand audiences for some time past. Since last seen in Stratford the company has been considerably strengthened, and it stands to-day as the most perfect combination of dramatic artists touring Australasia. Messrs Hamilton and Plimmer have gained a reputation not only for the brilliant and distinguished artists at the head of their company such as Mrs Robt. Brough, Miss .Beatrice Day, Messrs H. R. Roberts; ;Arthqr Styan, Harry Plimmeiq Sydney Stirling, and Winter Hall; .but I also fpr the all ground excellence , .of , the remainder. , These artiste have hosts of admirers in this town, and no doubt they will be welcomed most heartily this evening. In presenting “A Woman of Impulse” here the management have selected the play which, out of their vast repertoire, has proved itself the greatest success. “A Woman ,of Impulse” ihas, mugh to opium,end it. The .author, Victor Widnclh. pas. undertaken the difficult task of draping and expressing character in such a way as to arrest thereby the attention that is more easily commanded by the less subtle medium of crowded incident. He has, moreover, suceeded in a thoroughly satisfying measure, and the result is a drama that appeals to the ‘intelligence, touches the keyboard of emotionalism deftly and skilfully, and holds the audience in breathless suspense from first to last. It is a comedy drama of absorbing interest and delightful attractiveness, and its plot deals with the subject of diplomatic intrigue and the peril of a woman’s honour. A feature of toe production this evening will be the magnificent staging and the gorgeous gowns worn by the ladies of the company. The latter will serve to indicate to our fair sex the coming fashions. The curtain rises at 8.30. The box plan is on view at (Irub'j’s.
