1920s Advertorial

At the Tivoli next Saturday Miss Cecil Bradley will appear for a limited season of two weeks before sailing for London, where she is under contract to appear in one of the largest forthcoming productions. Every Australian will be proud of the success which has come the way of this brilliant young girl, and will welcome the opportunity to give her a good send-off.

Miss Bradley commenced her career as many another star has done in the chorus. Finding her talent to be far above the average she was almost immediately entrusted with understudy work. Even as a child, she showed great talent, playing Dolores at the age of ten and The Boy Lover in the Blue-hird at eleven. Her biggest success, however (and, Incidentally, her first opportunity) was in the role of Susanne in the Girl in the Taxi. She under-studied Maggie Jarvis, and it was readily conceded by all who saw her replace the well-known actress, that she was by far the best Susanne in Australian theatrical history. Miss Bradley under-studied Miss Dorothy Brunton for many years, also Miss Maud Fane, and it is only within recent years that she has understudied Miss Gladys Moncrieff. It was while the popular actress was away from the cast in the Maid of the Mountains that Miss Bradley achieved a great success in the title role, and later eclipsed everything she had previously done, as Senia in the Merry Widow, which she played in Melbourne for three nights.

Everyone will regret Miss Bradley’s departure, but her career will be followed with interest by the legions of admirers she can already claim.
