One writer had the following to say.: ‘Here is an exceedingly accomplished band of performers, who are living up to the title of ‘sunbeams,’ as those who witnessed 1 Saturday’s performance will readily admit, and it is a long time indeed since Palmerston North and district residents were provided with such a treat. Space will not 1 permit of a detailed description of the many beautiful and exceedingly dever turns by these talented folk with their magnificent costuming and stage effects.. There was revealed not only careful training, but also an histrionic ability not found in the average adult. Baby Doreen is a dainty ahd gifted little tot who immediately won her Way into tlie hearts of the audience. There were four items in the lengthy programme however, .that will be recalled with more than ordinary pleasure. The first of these were the two songs sung by Harry Usher, a b'Oy soprano who sang ‘Baby Your Mother’ and ‘Cobber o’ Mine’ with such brilliancy that the audience sat spellbound, to break into thunderous applause at the conclusion of each item.

The local, season is for one night only. The box plans are open at Flatt’s, and as popular prices are being charged intending patrons arc advised td book early.
