J. C. WILLIAMSON ENTERTAINERS.

| CUP WEEK ATTRACTION. At the Theatre Royal, for a season of Beven nights and two matinees, commencing at the matinee on Saturday next, No. 8 Company of J. C. Williamson Entertainers will provide the Carnival Week attraction. The first two companies, headed by Bransby "Williams and Hetty King- respectively, provided theatregoers with "extra special" vaudeville fare, and from the liberal support accorded the* venture the J. C. Williamson firm have definitely decided on the policy of regular seasons. The third company of entertainers lia-s been selected from England, the Continent, America, and Australian leading theatres, and is headed by England's famous burlesque comedian, Harry Weldon. He is the most genuinely humorous of pantomime comedians of the English music halls. New Zealanders who have visited the London Palladium know Harry Weldon's f-un and his famous catch-phraee, "S'no Use!" New Zealanders who have staved at home are now getting their chance of meeting the famous comedian. He will present all the sketches and comedy numbers whicn have proved so pcpular in his vaudeville career. Direct from London is Beryl Beresford, the brilliant English comedienne, who is assisted by Leslie Hinton in an act "a crescendo of laughter." A critic says: "From the moment she interrupts the middy at the piano, then switching on to a satire of a. quainty thrilling ballad vocalist, she has the house in a, continuous simmer of laughter." England's unique comedienne and originator of manv famous eongs, Hilda Glyder, comes -with a big English and American reputation. Besides being popular for her ability to entertain Miss Glyder is noted for her striking gowns. Massona and Ronald present juggling and burlesque. Boy Konald is a world-famed juggler, although only fifteen. Joe Brampton and company presents "The Awakening" and other beautiful pcees. The always popular girl with the violin is Maggie Foster. Her playing is a delight, and she is as pretty as a picture. The staging effects and orchestra will be of the usual J. C. Williamson standard. The box plans for the season open qn Wednesday at The Bristol.
