J.C.W. CREATE A WORLD RECORD
A fortnight ago J. C. Williamson, Ltd., put up a record which is said to be unique in the theatrical business in any part of the world. The firm was represented by one or more attractions in every capital city of the Commonwealth, as well as in New Zealand. In Perth a No. 2 company was appearing in "The Patsy”; in Adelaide, Nellie Stewart in “Sweet Nell of Old Drury”; in Melbourne, “The Vagabond King,” “This Ypar of Grace,” “Applesauce,” Leon Gordon in “The Ghost Upstairs,” and vaudeville at the Tivoli; in Sydney, “The Desert Song,” “Hit The Deck,” “Young Woodley,” “The Wrecker,” and vaudeville at the Tivoli. In Brisbane Pavlova and her company were appearing; Hobart had a No. 2 company in “The Desert Song,” and in New Zealand were “The Patsy,” the Van-brugh-Bouccicault Company and the “Midnight Frolics.” At the same time in London the firm was running “The Patsy” and the musical comedy, "Mr. Cinders.”
