“THE LUCK OF THE NAVY”
AT HIS MAJESTY’S ON SATURDAY
On Saturday night next and the two following evenings the J. C. Williamson. Ltd., management will present Mr. Percy Hutchison, the eminent London comedy artist, and his English company in the picturesque romantic comedy-drama, “The Luck of the Navy,” a play of master spies and startling adventures revealing how tlje luck of the navy held fast during tempestuous times. The ingenious plot and thrilling situations have delighted playgoers in England, South Africa and Canada. Legends cluster round “The Luck pf the Navy,” which ran for over 18 months at the Queen’s Theatre, London. TJnlike most legends, stories of “The Luck,” as the play was known in England, happen to be true. Two mascots are attached to the play. One is the Royal Navy cap which is worn by Mr. Hutchison throughout the play. It is said he would not part with it for untold gold. It has journeyed with him round the world, and has been worn in a dozen countries. Its badge is the actual badge Mr. Hutchison wore in his naval service during wartime. The other mascot is a pair of boots unblushingly “pinched” by the actor-producer from Gerald Du Maurier.
