Stan McKay "Still Going Strong"

"RHE Jj. ©. Williamson of the provinces" is a term that might well be applied to Stanley McKay, who for nearly thirty years now has been engaged in presenting theatrical attractions of one kind or another throughout Australia and New Zealand. Requiarly every year Mr. McKay leaves Sydney for the north of Queensiand, and conducts a tour that takes him down as far as Tasmania, thence to the West Coast of New Zealand for Christmas. From 12 to 14 weeks are usually spent kere, after which he returns to Sydney for reorganisation. Just at present the company is playing at Christchurch, and after a short suuthern tour, a scart will be made in the North island at New Plymouth on February 15. He hopes to be at the Grand Opera House, Weilington, early in March. This year’s company is said to be a particularly good one, several first appearances being numbered, including some fine specialty acts, notably Gecrge Hurd, a Royal Command performer. There are, as usual, some old fa'vourites, among whom are Stan ("Stud’) Foley, comedian; Steila Lamond, "personatity girl’; Nellie Kolle, chorus singer} "Scotty" McKinnon and, partner; Barry Ross; Stella Coltier; and Max Reddy.
