“A TRIP TO CHINATOWN.”
Mr Howard Vernon, who has been the leading comedian in Australasian productions of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas for many years, is touring the Dominion again, this time with his own musical comedy company. There is hardly a better-known performer on the Australian stage than Howard Vernon, and his impersonations in a long list of operas staged by Mr J. C. Williamson, will live in the memory of ail who have witnessed them. Mr Vernon’s last appearance was with the Repertoire Opera Company, and at the disbanding of that organisation he retired from the stage and took up farming pursuits. Finding that following the plough was hardly as pleasing as amusing audiences, he decided on returning to the stage, and selected a company of his own to support him in a series of musical comedies. Mr Vernon claims to have gathered round him a remarkably clever baud of artists. The initial performance of the company in Foxton will be the popular musical company “A Trip to Chinatown,” in the Public Hall on Saturday and Monday evenings. An announcement regarding the opening of the box plan appears in another column.
