“THE GIPSY QUEEN.” The above made their re-appear-ance at Foxton on Thursday night under very unfavourable circumstances, it having rained all day. Nevertheless, the hall was fully three-parts full and those present had the pleasure of witnessing the above romantic and spectacular drama, which is entirely new to a Foxton audience. The excitement started in the first act and never subsided until the fall of the curtain. The title role was taken by Mias Carrington, who sustained her part as only a cultured actress can, and her acting brought forth much applause. As usual the hero’s character was taken by Mr Charles Taylor, and as Mark Norcliff, the village blacksmith, he pourtrayed the part in a wonderfully realistic manner. Besides this character Mr Taylor also appeared in two others sustaining both in his usual capable manner. Mr Ward Lyons, the villain, showed that he was no stranger to the part, but, as is usual, he “falls in” in the end, thanks to the cleverness of the Gipsy Queen, who out-witted him at every point of his attempted villainy. The comical side of things was taken by Mr Charles Seguin, as Harry Oliphant, the elephant, and as Christopher Muggins, the skeleton, Mr Keegan proved he wasn’t as big a fool as he looked. All the other parts were in very capable hands, and altogether nothing'was left to be desired. At the conclusion Mr Taylor returned thanks, also .stating that they would not forget foopay Foxton another visit oh! their return from Auckland, in about six weeks’ time. The public can always rely on hearing something good and entertaining from, the Taylor-Carrington as they have proved that they do not bill what they do not play.
