Box iilans ..re now open and idling fast at Miss Mclntosh”* for the forthcoming visit of the famous English Humphrey Bishop Musical Comedy Company at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday. April ilO. The news ol the great and unprecedented success of this company in Manly and Sydney has evidently preceded them. Me arc quoting the "Manly Daily,’’ S/10/th>. in saying that it is the "Brightest, breeziest, and finest show ol its kind that has ever appeared in Manly.” Comedy is the keynote ami with such comedians as George “Scratcher” Ross. Charles Alberts Mark Leslie and Dan Flood there is not a clnll moment all through the show Though low comedy and laughter predominate on the coral side the company are especially strong and to hear one of their Operatic Finales accompanied by the Humphrey Bishop Orchestra, it would seem impossible to believe that there was not a real Grand Opera Chorus behind them. This extraordinary production of voice's has been a series of wonderment throughout the long seasons they have played in the various cities of Australia. The original Ragtime (Quartette has for years now never been allowed to leave- the stage without at least four encores. This quartette appeals to everyone, both from, a comedy point of view, as well as a vocal one, and their reception everywhere can only be described as a riot. In each of their programmes there is something to please everybody, no matter whether their t-stes lie in the direction of singing, dancing, music or grand opera—each and every one ol the 'artists being a wellv-known Loudon performer. Intending patrons are requested to hook early as there is eveiv indication of a packed house greeting them hero.
