WONDERFUL STAGECRAFT.

i Now playing to crowded audience.lin Auckland is the big Williamson . spectacle "White Horse Inn," which ■ easily eclipses anything New Zealand : theatregoers have ever seen. Indeerl. not since the days of "Chu Chin Chow" has been offered such a feasi for ear and eye; it is a theatrical marvel done in the best Williamson tradition. The gaiety, colour, and movement that marks each of the sensational scene.;; the dance, song, and ensembles; the happy music; the pageantry of the show; the panoramic detail; the action that whisks from one scene to an- y other in lightning tempo; the. revolving stage that makes all this spectacular detail possible are only a few of thel reasons why "White Horse Inn" in its progress through New Zealand will be hailed as the firm's greatest scenic triumph. Romola Hansen, Herbert Browne, Alfred Frith, Miriam Lester, Don Nicol, Colin Crane, Alban Mack, Marie Ann Conan, Yvonne Banvard, Daphne Lowe, Master Grieves are d few of the principals in a company that numbers over 120, and includes gay Tyrolean dancers, comedians, bathing beauties, etc. The Auckland season closes on January 11, after which there will be seasons at New Plymouth, January 13, 14, 15; Wanganui, January 16. 17, 18; Palmerston North, January 20, 21, 22; Hastings, January 23, 24, 25; Masterton January 27, 28; Wellington January 29 to February 15; Christchurch, February 18 to 29; Timaru, March 2, 3, 4; Dunedin, March 5-14; Invercargill, March 16, 17, 18. Achieving as it does the ultimate in the spectacular, "White Horse Inn" is also a very tuneful and romantic musical play, crammed full with delightful surprises.
