"THE SILVER KING"
Tho old favourite "Tho Silver King" was again staged last evening at tlic Grand Opera House by the Allan Wilkie Company. The "Silver King" will be shown till Friday evening. "Far ahead of any play wo have had in London during the past season," was ths verdict of the critic of tho London "Sunday Times" after tho first production of "Hindlo Wakes," a comedy dealing with a very unusual phase of human nature. Tlio Allan Wilkio company produce th* play for the first time in Wellington on Saturday night' It has been a recordbreaking success wherever staged. Tho setting, of "Kindle Wakes" is laid in Lancashire, chiefly at the town of Kindle, tho plot being evolved from an episode taking place during tho Ilindle Wakes or summer holidays. The climax is most unexpected and original. Allan Wilkie is east as the bluff Nathaniel Jeffcote, and is said to give a remarkably fine character study of the worried father. Miss Frediswydo Hunter-Watts portrays u. young mill girl, Fanny Hawthorn," with a keen appreciation of the comedy lines, a comedy which underlies a good deal of pathos.
