WORLD ENTERTAINERS. A CLEVEII ENTERTAINMENT, TO-NIGHT! TO-NIGHT!

At Princess Theatre to-night the World’s Entertainers present their attractive programme. The Grey “Ar-gus”-commenting on the performance at Greyniouth on .Monday evening Jsays: —A capacity house greeted Ahe night of the World’s Entertainers- at the Opera House last evening, when one of the most unique and original vaudeville entertainments f'er presented to a Greymoutli auduce. was acclaimed by all present as a really clever and first-class show. It is not too much to say that the thirtylive cute and clever cockatoos, which provide the audience with much amusement by tlieir uncanny cleverness, : are quite an entertainment by themselves. “The Colonel,” a cocka-too-that could outstrip many -young scholars by his unfailing accuracy in striking off on a gong any- . giVon number requested by the audience, do Jiu.ljtraeti.ngj and simple additions, and give the correct time after bon-' suicing a watch, gained the admiration of the entire audience. The njiUly :u| d various acts, perfectly carried out by the other birds, were a revelation to all. It is not an exaggeration to say that Harmston s Comedy Cockatoos have captured the Greyntouth public. The cockatoos, although the slar item on the programme, are not by any means the only turn worth seeing. Miss dean McDonald and her living marionettes presented an act which Avon the genuine applause of the house, while the amazing juggling presented by Manelli, assisted by Mack, stamped tTie former as an exceptional ly clever artist. The show is a first-claSs one, and well worthy of the patronage-accorded it last evening. An additional attraction was a splendid- picture programme presented .during the first half of the entertainment.
