What Happened to Jones?”
The curiosity of the public to learn, by ocular demonstration, “What happened to Jones ” will be allayed to-rriglrt by the appearance of Rov. Charles Arnold and his company of London comedians 'at the Theatre Royal. “Jones,” as the farce comedy is termed iir the professional argot, which invariably abbreviates the long and cumbrous title often bestowed by an ambitious airthor, is having as triumphant a march as Lord Roberts on his way to' Lydenburg, with this difference, that the success of “Bobs” was accompanied by the weeping and wailing of Boers, whilst “Jones ” bowls along to the hearty laughter of all sorts and conditions of men and women. Mr Charles Arnold has always been a popular actor with Gisborne playgoers, and everybody will be delighted to welcome him back. The company supporting him is one of the most complete organisations that has visited Australasia, and arrives by the Elingamite from the South, where they have just brought long seasons to a brilliant conclusion. The advance booking betokens a crowded house, and it is safe to predict a most successful visit to Gisborne for Mr Arnold and his company.
