PRINCESS THEATRE—TO-NIGHT. Vaudeville and pictures; an event, of great importance to theatre goers, includes tile appearance of Miss Winifred La France’s company tof World’s Entertainers at the Princess Theatre in conjunction with a star picture, Mitchell Lewis in “Life’s Greatest Problem.” Of this combination, a Palmerston North contemporary says:—“The special attraction at the Theatre last night was one of the best combinations of vaudeville artists that has yet graced a Palmerston North stage. That each artist scored an immediate success was evidenced by the applause. The company whs headed by Miss Winifred La France, a prominent Australian artist wlii) lias gained laurels, not only on the vaudeville stage, hut as Principal Boy in pantomime, also in musical comedy. She has also appeared in America. She is vivacious, has a winning manner and an attractive figure. She sang a number of catchy songs and gave several clever impersonations. Zoo, the boy .with 1000 eyes,.the 10 year old lafl hilled as a psychological marvel, simply astounded his audience. He answered the numerous questions correctly, he described articles, deciphered initials, read dates on coins and recounted the source from which many of these had come. His lightning calculations of mathematical problems were remarkable,. Miss Rene'Millar,won instant popularity with her sengs and clever conjuring turn, which completely baffled the audience. Mr Charles Copeland is a lightning sketch artist of exceptional merit. His oil paintings of various scenes, executed with cotton wool dipped in coloured oils were excellent. Another who appeared was Mr Kenneth Surtell, Society Entertainer and Manipulator.” With such a combination ns this together with a star picture we are sure that The Princess Theatre will be packed tonight and ■vve advice our readers to book there being no extra charge for booking.
