PRINCESS THEATRE

The popular company, Frank O’Rrian’s Revellers, will present the farewell programme to-night. The (levellers have been in Dunedin lor eight weeks, and at cadi performance there has been a good audience. Selected items from the oilier seven shows form tho present programme, which is a delightful evening’s entertainment. Frank O’Briau is the loading comedian, and he is assisted by other members of the company in his numerous original sketches. Tho hon-.iii-.s for singing go to Janice Hart, Marie Ward, and Bert Leo, who provide some of tho latest songs. Vasco’s ’Varsity Boys’ Jazz Band is one of the features of the show, these talented musicians rendering many delightful jazz items. The chorus is a good one, and the costuming of tho company is very tasty.. ’The Revellers say goodbye to Dunedin this evening. EASTER ATTRACTION

On Saturday next the League of Notions Revue Company will return to the Princess Theatre after a. phenomenal season, running into eighteen weeks, at Wellington. The company should he given a warm welcome, for. although only a short season was played hero when jt was in Dunedin late last year, the members created a most favourable impression among patrons. Few comedians there arc who can rcacii tho standard of Sid Bod;, the chief funmakor of tho revue, while it is not an easy task to imagine a better combination than .Linn Smith’s Jazz Band, which dispenses the latest dance music in a most refreshing manner. Alike Connors and Quccnie Paul, who head tho company in song and sketch, should increase their popularity if that is possible. The title of the opening presentation lias not yet been announced, but it is safe to say that it will be both amusing and entertaining. The box plan arrangements are advertised elsewhere in this issue.
