MR R. G. KNOWLES

A CELEBRATED ENTERTAINER,

Great interest is centred in the appearance at Hie Majesty’s Theatre to-morrow oight of Mr B. G. Knowles, the very amous oom9iian, under the ausp : oja of Mr J. 0. Williamson’s management. Mr Knowles is on a tour of the world, with an original monologue entertainment, which is the result of many years of travel and i o ireful preparation, and to those who i would journey to the land of fun, piloted by a humorous guide, an excellent oppor* tunity presents itself. Mr Knowles’enter.-* tainment is in no wise of the variety order, but is best described by himself as " be« tween the music hall and the lecture platform, and bridging the ohasm between the two.” Mr Knowles is out to entertain, and his effort 11 The Songs and Stories of . the Stage ” is said to be the most irresistibly funny performanoo seen for years, He will be assisted by Mrs R. G. Knowles, a celebrated ban joist, and a great portion of his travelling experiences will be bio* graphically illustrated by a special bioscopist who is with the company. Itfr Knowles was recently described in the English press as a worthy compeer of the I great George Grossmith ; his advent promises many hours of hilarious hilaiity. During the performance many cf Mr Knowles’ most famous songs will be sung, and the beau iful banjo playing of Mrs R, G. Kcowlcs will afford ao additional attraction. Mr Koowlos is su'd to bo the mo t expoDsivo star yet offered by Mr Williamson to a Now Zoeland public. The box plan is at Mr Miller’s, also day sales
