THE ENGLISH PIERROTS

After a pauso in the season due to tit) irresistible attack of influenza, tho English Pierrots, still numerically weak, reopened on Saturday evening to a die weloome from' a delighted audience. It is rather interesting to note that no company of the kind has ever been able to play in Wellington for anything liko tho, length of time this company has. Mr. Thomas is so Buro of his ground here that tho company proposes a return to Wellington on Hay 24 next, and will remain hero the whole of the winter without a break, so that we will have a permanent Pierrot attraction to look forward to next winter. The absentees on Saturday evening were Jliss Elsie Bosslyn and Mr. W. P. Turner. The rest W the oompany seemed determined to make up for their absence by sorting out some of their very best numbers. That impeccable artist, Miss Eba Langlcy, whose songs aro always complete characterisations, delicate etchings in the oleanest of vocal comedy, sang "Ho Kissed Oi Once, a yokel song, whioh was a cameo in its way, and in tho berceuse which followed, "The Qobllns'll Get You," showed lior amaiing capacity and out-reaching charm In conjuring up a'perfect picture of a mother tenderly rocking her baby to Bleep. This is ono of the masterpieces in the Langley gallery—admired by all the ooznoscenti. Hiss Ungley aleo appeared with Miss BilHo Wilson in "Tne Orinolino," a dainty lavender-and-old-lace number that found immonee favour. Miss Wilson gave pleasure in her pretty "Coalblaok Eose" tong; and astonishingly clerei- and humorous child impersonations. Mr Leslie Austin, convalescent, was Boarcely in normal form. Mr. D. Lyle sang "Land of tho Harlequin" in line style, and was associated with Mr. Louis Mitchell in a ringing duet, "Tho Call of the Desert." Mr. Boy Cooko, .in capital voice, sang "The Trumpeter" and "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold." Mr. Oharlee Lawrence was particularly happy in his merry-making at the piano, and was always a laughter-maker in tho ensemble numbers, notably in the finale, "Taking Moving Pictures." Tho accompaniments of Miss Hima Young aro ■ a feature of the programmes, and her solo work also adds a note of refinement to every programme
