Natalie Moya, here in “Young Woodley,” is to play the heroine in “Lombardi, Ltd.,” a new comedy to be done in Sydney. The next show for the Leon Gordon company is “The Squeaker.’” Eileen Sparks and Mary McGregor will be the two women in it. - Freddie Forbes and Aster Faire have been booked for a long tour in Australia with Sir Benjamin Fuller. The former will open in “Funny Face.” Gus Bluett recently received a cable from Cyril Ritchard, who is doing so well in London, asking Gus if he could open in a London show in February. Mr. Bluett is under contract to J. C. Williamson, so had to refuse. The Alan Wilkie company will return to Sydney in October to play a season of old English comedies, including “The School for Scandal,” “The Rivals,” and “She Stoops to Conquer.” If a metropolitan theatre can be obtained, it is proposed to open the new season on October 19. The company is at present doing good work in New Zealand. Dennis Barry, formerly of the Alan Wilkie Shakespearian Company, will give a recital in Hamilton on September 14. Recently he was the guest of the Orphans’ Club there, and an admiring Hamilton scribe says that the audience followed Mark Antony’s oration from “Julius Caesar” “with breathless interest.” Mr. Barry talks of giving a recital in Auckland.
