This combination of singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, monologuists and instrumentalists arc particularly clever and. will appear in tho Town Hall, Levin, on Friday next, tlie 18tli. Mr Leslie Holmes, the comedian of the company, Jias everywhere met with good receptions, wliilo -Mr George Winstanlcy, vA\o, we are told, is tho possessor of two distinct voices—a pure soprano and a resonant baritone—gives a performance that is unique. Speaking of tlio company, tho Wellington Post said: c 'For a timo at least 'The Wanderers' have found a home in tlio hearts of the Wellington public. Their iirsfc appearancefilled the Jiall to overflowing, ami so numerous were the recalls that tho programme had to be curtailed at the finis!]. The performance of the me-rry band of artists created generally a very favourable impression. The company is well balanced. There are artists capable of tlio serious. t ; ho hninorpus and tho pathetic, a,nd a novel item in this form of entertainment was the introduction of dancing."
