Since last it was produced' in Australasia, the piece has been rewritten to make room for Miss Baines' specialties, which ' include mimicry, child impersonation, dialect turns, popular and topical songs,.,/ and other diverting items. Miss Baines' ' must not be confounded- with her sister, who produced the play with such success '' in Australasia three years ago.
