PLAYING THRILLERS

Maurice Moscovitch will arrive in Auckland on Tuesday from Sydney. His plays for this tour will be thrillers —-The Terror” and “The Ringer.”

Olive Sioane, through New Zealand with “Cradle Snatchers,” is to have a part in “Princess Charming,” a new J.C.W. musical comedy. Severel of the “Rose Marie” Company will have parts. Here are three London actresses for whom the critics predict great success:—Hazel Hamilton, who does wonders with a small part in “Sylvia”; Dora Lennox, under-studying all three feminine roles .in “Whispering Wires”; Ivy Luck, who acts cleverly in “Cinderella,” at Cardiff. * * * Reita Nugent, who danced as Nita Nugent under the Williamson banner in several musical shows, is getting her picture in the London papers. She has now joined the cast of “Oh Kay,” one of the successes of the year, and her eccentric dancing has been hailed as a feature of the show. It will be something of an experiment to put a crime mystery play on at the Winter Garden, where “The Spider” is due next month, says a London writer. This is the play in -which somebody is “murdered” in the stalls, and the theatre at Drury Lane is said to be the only one available in which the first four rows are visible all over the house. * * * Some further readjustments have been made in connection with the New Zealand tours of J. C. Williamson companies. Moscoviteh and his speciallyselected company, which includes the famous London actor, Patric Curwen, is scheduled to open the Dominion season at Auckland on April 7, thus providing the Easter attraction for the Northern centre.
