Notes:
The text uses classical-style phrasing, with some typical vertical layout from right to left.
“戰爭旗色” is a literal translation of With the Colours, a patriotic war play popular in early 20th-century Australia.
“Hop Yick Company” (合益公司) was likely the local Chinese business sponsoring or promoting the performance among Sydney’s Chinese community.
The tone and structure are similar to bilingual theatre notices published in Sydney Chinese newspapers like The Tung Wah Times (東華報) or The Chinese Australian Herald (廣益華報) around the 1910s–1920s.
