LONG TACK SAM.

NEW VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.

The famous Chineso juggler, Long Tack Sam, ■with a completely new company, unci supported by several very fine vaudeville sets, will commence a season at the Theatre Royal to-morrow evening, being presented by N«w Zealand Entertainers, Ltd., by arrangement with J. C. Williamson, Ltd. Since his last appearance here Long Tack Sam has visited Cnina, and secured a nunibsr of new acts, besides new artist 3. Madame Long Tack Sum and Misees Poldi and Jiiir.i. Long aro still appearing with (ho show. In a. magnificent setting of Chineso draperies, which he brought ba,ck with him, and which, together with costumes, cost the etar a very largo sum, the troupe maintains the keenest interest of the audience for nearly ah hour. The J. C. Williamson acts supporting tho star are all of international repute. Direct from America are the Novelle Brothers, musical and acrobatic clowns. These two clever Frenchmen played at tha winter garden at Now York, where the midnight shows of America arc produced. Tlioir imitation of the courts-iip, quarrel, and reconciliation of two birds, is described as astounding. Another newcomer is Chris. Charlton, billed as the "Royal Illusionist," who is assisted in his act by Uorothy biowne. He presents what are called "Dcce;->t;ons of 19;5." It is a j bombardment of wonders from beginning to end and has he'p:d to keep the United rung- ; dom entertained for many years. Speciality and classical dancers aro .Errol Addison and Gertrude Mitrccga. Direct from the Palaco Theatre, ,iN'ew York, are Moran and Wiser, described as ".Hilarious Hat Spinners," in a, vaudeville skit "AU in Fun." The comoany had a, very successful season in Auckland, when all through tho season of ten nights and tlyce matinees, there were crowded and enthusiastic hcuaes. One Auckland critic says, "A new standard in varietv entertainment is set by the Long Tack Sam Company, whoso previous reputation was responsible for filling every seat in the hoiue. A more satisfied audience than that which left tho theatre on Saturday r.ieht would be difficult to picture.;' / The box plans for (he season, which is for seven nights and two matinees, are now orien at The Bristol.
