" 80-PEEP" PANTOMIME. Anywhere where pantomime is announced to be staged the play-goer associates something quite out of the ordinary in the music, scenery, and dressiug, beautiful girl singers and dancers. Fulfilment of this is promised in the production on Friday Hext at the, Coronation Hall oi "80-Peep," by the Royal Pantomime Company, winch is making its first tour of the Dominion. This company numbers fifty perfoimer3, all of tbem experienced artists in this special class of entertainment, and, with the exception of several, ail inaKing their first appearance here. The dancing alone will be a feature of the production, and some new and novel bullets will be introduced notably the "Foral Ballet," in which each shapely participant represents some beautiful flower. lno music hus been specially written by Mr Harry Taylor, who has had many years' successful experience in this class of work. His niusic is of the catchy order, and wherever it has been played it immediately earns the ballmark of popularity. The sougs are also from Mr Harry Taylor's prolific pen, and the merit of all those sung in "80-Peep" is that they are not hackneyed. The principal boy (Miss Kathleen Mack), 80-Peep(Miss Rita Webb), Miss Gora Teny and Miss Esme M'Lellan all have charming numbers allotted to them whilst the comedians (Mr Victor Loydali being one of them) are well supplied witn songs whicn lend themselves 10 topical illusions. The scenery is from |the brush of Mr Harry Whaite, and this artist has excelled himself in many magnificent stage settings, including a gurgeous setting "The Pour Seasons,'' a transformation sot>ne. Tne box plan is open at Riddeli'S.
