THE ROYAL TOGOS.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NEXT. At the Princess Theatre on Tuesday next under the direction of Mr Tom Pollard, the .Royal Togos Alsace Vaudeville Company open a two night’s season. The outstanding feature of ■ the Royal Togos’ entertainment is the juggling and balancing of the Togos. Quite a remarkable achievement is that of U. Togo, who juggles six sticks at the same time. The sticks are about two feet in length, and are kept revolving in the air simultaneously, and although they are kept moving by his hands, it looks to the observer as if they are actually suspended by an unseen wire, so fast and evenly do they spin. He has also a remarkable balancing act with a glass of water on a small tray supported by sticks from the chin. Then follows a sensational tight rope walk from the level of the stage to the roof above dress circle. This is performed by the other brother, G. Tago with a sunshade as his only support. Louis Alsace, the wizard of the violin, provides classic gems and excerpts from grand opera on j the violin, ’cello and Alsacephone. Miss , Lalla Knight is a lyric soprano with a fine voice. Doreen Dore, the personality young lady, is New Zealand’s greatest dancer ,and has concluded a successful tour under Fuller’s circuit. These artists depart shortly for America and Europe, and this is their, farewell to New Zealand. Their act is full of bright humour. Miss Dale is described as the ‘‘cutest dresser in vaudeville’ Her frocks nro importations from America, and are the last word in stage dressing. Her quick changes are remarkable ,and must lie seen to be believed. Miss O’H ana Mitsu is the only Japanese pianist who has toured New Zealand. The prices of admission are : Dress circle and orchestra stalls, 3s 2d, stalls 2s Id, back stalls Is Id. Children half price. Box plan at Mrs Browne s. No extra oharge for booking.
