THE PATSY’S WIT
COMEDY AT HIS MAJESTY’S
There are so many epigrams packed into that delightful comedy, “The Patsy,” which is nearing the end of its season at His Majesty's, that it might have been the production of many brilliant brains, instead of only one—that of Barry Conners. Irene Homer, that piquant personification of Americanism puts over so •many sparkling gems of wit that only that who have seen her will realise what tho rest of Auckland has missed. Baughter, like confession, is good for the soul, and “The Patsy” gives playgoers the best laugh for years. A. S. Byron, as the grocery-peddling Mr. Harrington and Vera Gerald as the wife with social aspirations make an excellent background for the scintillating Patsy, who is always getting into trouble, with a purpose, and finally gets out of it, wittb the man she wants. As Tony Anderson, Brandon Peters responds admirably to doses of his own prescription to it girl in love. Sam AYren is a cheerful Billy Caldwell and Kileen Sparks as the Patsy's vitriolie sister, storms her way through.the play with credit.
“The Patsy” will be staged at His Majesty’s for the last time this evening.
