"TIGER ROSE." "Tiger Rose," to be: presented for the. first time in New, Zealand on Thursday evening next at the Grand Opera House, is reported as the greatest dramatic achievement of Messrs. J. and N. Tnit. A special company has been imported - for its production, headed bv Miss Marie Tlkn. a young American actress who has distinguished herself in the portrayal of fonsc emotional roles. "Tiger Rose" is said to be full of sharp surprises and unexpected- developments. In the [first act ,is shown an old grandfather clock, 6eemingly a perfectly harmless detail in tK» ■ tout.[ensemble, but attaining later ' an importance in the story that .makes ■ it for several tense seconds the centre of the stage. 'In the second act, the clever action of the first is eclipsed by n denouement hardly to bo suspected in the opening of the story. Similar ingenuitv by the drnmatist.in the last act is said to hold the wrapt, attention of the audience till the fall of the curtain. The scenic effects are reported to be of a surprising realism, particularly the ' : preat storm scene played amidst thunder and lightning ond a deluge of genuine ir.nin, which floods the landscape. Box plans for. the fir*t six nights of the < RPnsnn will be opened at the Bristol on Monday morning. .
