"THE NEW MOON."
+ GOOD MUSICAL COMEDY. The ducccbs of "The New Moon," "which is playing to crowded boutes at the Theatre Royal this week, is easily explainable.

This iu itbclf ia novelty enough to attract very larfce audiences in Christcliurch, even if the individual play posbessed no intrinsic merit. But "The New Moon" does possess merits, and they are, all pleasing. Briefly, the play is an excellent mixture of song, dance. and comedy. The cast ia j?ood. There ia Sydney Burchall. who, as Robert Mission, has many opportunities to üb© hib round, flnibhed baritone. Then Herbert Browne, whose tenor in well known, siofjs. as Philippe, three or four numbers excellently; Romola Hansen, in the role of Marianne, displays grace, ability, and attractive jjorsonality and a delightful boprano, while Dulcie Davenport and Amy UocheUe share the comedy honours with the popular Jim Gerald, who has never had the slightest difficulty in being: funny.
