AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME.
At the Town Hall Te Kuiti, to-morrow night will sci- th<; production of "the play that routed the Empire," "An Englishman's Home." The piece is being staged under the management of Mr Edwin Geach, by special arrangement with J. C. Williamson, who has a very strong company on tour. The play is a stinging satire upon Great Britain's unpreparedness against invasion. The particular "Home" which gives the piece its title is exhibited with a photographic accuracy that realsies the common-places of suburban family life in a remarkable degree. It should be added that Major Guy du Manner's play is not in any sense great, though any writer who can work out such an original scheme with success must possess imagination of no ordinary limit. It is very much to the point just now, and that man is little to be envied whose patriotism would not gain force by witnessing it. Popular prices of 4s, 3s and 2s will be charged and seats may be booked at McColl's, Tobacconist, without extra charge."
