your 'bargain1 is showing The lady made a mistake, you see. That "bargain" stole she rushed to buy has turned out to be the costliest flop of her career. If only she'd realized that, without spending more, a truly good yet inexpens ive fur could have been hers - together with the personal attenti on, the confident advice of a real craftsman furrier. As it was, t he salesgirl who served her knew less about furs than she did her self. 'f here ore such things as genuine fur sales, of course. Every furr ier must make room for new stocks once a year. But a really good fur - whether timeless mink or inexpensive marmot, whether ermin e, kolinsky or squirrel - deserves some thoughtful consideratio n. And chat can be a real pleasure. So, if you've mink on your mind or something more modest, do call on the man who knows furs, and sells nothing else. At Bernha rd Hammerman's salon you will find tru~ fashion in fur, true craftsma n· ship, true value.

CURLYON THE RACK The six men and one woman in the play are caught in a series By of conflicts which revolve around their need for security. For Curly, money is the ultimate goal, simply for its own sake; for Scobie, it is a RU PULLAN shield against the outside world.

Th e first Austr alian musical to be presented by the Australian Elizab ethan Th ea tr e Trust will make its debut at the Eli zabethan Th eatr e in early October. Its lust y setting is of Ballarat in the grip of th e Gold Ru sh in 1856. JOHN GERMAIN DESMOND PATTERSON World -famous courtesan, Lola Montez, visited Ballarat at th is time, pre sentin g her world-famous strip-tease "Spid er Dance ". The editor of th e local paper had some scathing things to sav about Miss Mont ez, and was promptly horse-whipped for his remark s by her. Into th ese factual happ enings the authors have woven a thread of fiction, and hav e come up with a musical that was un animously * * * acclaimed by th e publi c and pr ess alike in a "try-out" of the production in association with th e Uni on R epertory Compan y, Melbourn e, at their Union Theatre earlier this year. Th e acclaim was such that th e season was exte nd ed, which is unusual for the Union Th eatre , as th ey have a set schedu le for productions each season .
