AMUSEMENTS.
THE FAMOUS DIGGERS.
NEW REAR GIRL SHOW
PRINCESS THEATRE—TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROAV. “A wonderful little show” says a Northern contemporary “encompassing a wealth of very funny comedy and spectacular freshness piling up on lavish yet harmonious settings and beautiful tasteful costumings. All that and more was lia»dec( out on a programme which seemed all too short. This time the Diggers hare surpassed themselves.” There is no doubt about it, the innovation of a ballet and chorus has lifted this company away above its former self. Tl'.o girls in the show were selected for their good looks as well as their singing and dancing. In this the management were wise and their Chorus and Ballet bid fair to become famous throughout the Dominion for their beauty, daintiness and vivacity. Prominent among tbo vocalists of the company is Mademoiselle Claire Cooley, a delightful young daughter of France who sings her songs very charmingly in excellent English. Claude Bell is a surprisingly good baritone who has a fine reputation which an admiring public have bestowed upon him. Jimmy Norton, producer, comedian and eccentric dancer brings good cheer with him wherever he goes. IToe Vnfli is perhaps one of the most popular comedians who have ever appeared in the Dominion. He will be remembered as the Scottish porter of the sketch “Tickets Please” during last tour. Stan Dawson “a Charming Deceiver” is still with the company and he has some surprises to spring on to the public. Gus Dawson is sure to enhance his popularity this time as he has some original offerings to put forward. Eily Dalgleisli, the cheerful soubrette of the company, has brought over from Sydney a hunch of the very latest novelty song numbers; and Tan'o Faina- has also something good to offer. Tlie sketches “The Bride's Trousseau”, “The Rest Cure” and “The Roof Garden Scene” are very funny skits which considerably lift the programme along. Of course the Diggers Famous Orchestra is still a feature of tin- show.
