MARCUS CLARKE ROMANCE
COMING TO AUCKLAND Congratulations are still pouring in on Jessica Harcourt, whose characterisation in ‘For the Term ol His Natural Life,’’ is one of the highlights of this mighty production. Directors are predicting a great future for this tall and fair Australian girl who, in one role only, has convinced Australians that they have brilliant actresses in their own country. Miss Harcourt’s life has been as romantic and vivid as the lives so patently manufactured by press agents for ali great motion picture stars. As a demure programme seller and usher at Her Majesty’s Theatre. Sydney, she attracted the attention of George Highland, genius-producer of the Australian stage, and she was immediately placed in his current production. She has done stage work ever since. Her dazzling beauty and poise attracted the producers of “The Term,” and she was approached to join the company. Her decision to leave the stage was a happy one. for in a few short months she has achieved a fame and future which, perhaps. the stage would never have offered her. The glorious Jessica belongs in movies, and with the right vehicles and direction this brilliant young Australian should become on« of our greatest players.
