ALLAN WILKIE COY
“THIS ROTTERS”—MONDAY.
A theatrical treat is promised for Monday evening, when the Allan Wilkie Comedy Company will present 11. f\ Maltby’s world-famed comedy “The Rotters,” at the Princess Theatre. Mr Wilkie has selected a special company for the production of this piece throughout New Zealand. “The liotters” arrived with a great reputation from London, where it was first introduced four years ago, and has been revived, with tremendous success, three times in that city. The plot has to do with "the laughable dilemmas of one Clugston, a self-made illiterate man, who has risen to the middle-class in provincial Norik of England. Clugston boasts of his ultra-respectability, but receives many severe shocks through the lapses' of the members of his family. A conspicuous figure in the play is Clugston’s cliaffeur, a well-educated man who is an outcast from his people. The dialogues are reported to be particularly smart, and the situations riotously laughable. Owing to the remarkable success of “The Rotters” Mr Wilkie has secured the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, for a season of 16 weeks, in order to introduce the play to Melbourne audiences later on. Tile box plan is on view .it Misses McIntosh’s sweet shop.
