The Famous Diggers have been so long entertaining the public of New Zealand that, they hayg become part of our national life.

That they are able to do this as weh as any show travelling is evidenced by the fact that tlh'ey are greeted by large audiences everywhere they go. In fact, in the South Island recently, they broke all records for attendance, and at Invercargill letters appeared in the papers protesting that the Diggers should have played' more than two nights in the town to enable all intending patrons to see the show., Oainaru, Timaru, Greymouth, Hokitika, West-, port, Nelspn, .and Blenheim all had the same story tfo fell—not enough accommodation in the theatres for all those who desired to see the programme.
