CARRIE MOORE. Miss Carrie Moore, the famous Anglo Australian musical comedy •actress, will make her initial appearance before an audience at the Town Hall Te Kuiti. Miss Moore will first give'songs from her abundant repertoire. On her appearance on the stage she will no doubt receive an ovation. Although this well-known actress will "star " she will be ably supported by several impolted vaudeville turns in the first part of the programme. The second part will consist of the first production here of the laughable London absurdity, "Chips," in which Miss Moore will appear in the leading character. A well-known London newspaper, in writing of this comedietta on its initial production, says: —"Chips, or a Visit to the Studio, winds up the evening spiritedly. Binks much worried by his office boy, Chips, whom he cannot pay, receives a visit from Miss Rose Chillington, a society actress, and two other female artistes, who are accompanied by a trio of society Johnnies. During the action of the play Binks detaches Miss Chillington from her swain, and on his receiving a letter telling him of a "windfall," proposes to, and is accepted bv her. The comedietta winds up with a melodrama extravaganza, entiitled "Bill Buggins, the Bold, Bad Bucaneer, John Jones, the Jovial Jack Tar, and Miserable Mary, the Moping Maid of Marlow." It is respectfully notified that patrons are advised to reserve their seats at McColl's so as to be sure this unrivalled combination.
