On Thursday next at the Tirru'a Hall the Turua Concert Party are giving their initial performance in the shape oi an old-time nigger minstrel show. This ever-popular form of entertainment loses nothing of its mirth-pro-veking qualities by the introduction of modern numbers and gags. Rastus, Sambo, Moses, and Joe have gathered together a host of gags and quips dealing with topical ,and mirth-pro-voking subjects. The party will also put on a real side-splitting farce entitled “Ginger’s Day Out.” In this the members have the opportunite of a k lowing themselves 'full scope for an hilarious half-hour’s fun, and'take full advantage of it. Seats may be reserved at the Turua Hall Shop.
