"OUR MISS GIBBS" VISITS TE KUITI.

Playgoera of Te Kuiti will be delighted to learn that we are to have a visit from the famous Merry Widow Opera Company on Tuesday, February 11th, and that th*y are presenting no less an attraction than Our Miss Gibbs, the comic opera that ran for no less than nine consecutive nights a* His Majesty's Theatre, Sydney, and has met with much success whereever produced in New Zealand. The company to visit us ia thirty-five strong and carries an orchestra of its own. The Merry Widow Company had been touring the Commonwealth of Australia for the past two years with phenomenal success, and that they have made good in New Zealand is testified to by the crowded houses they are meeting everywhere. The box plan will be opened at the usual place. Mr Frank O'Sullivan is the advance and is making the necessary arrangements. A real treat is undoubtedly in store for theatregoers.
