BELLE CROME BELLRINGERS.

Amusement patrons will shortly have an opportunity of witnessing the performance of the above much-travelled musicians and vocalists, in their meritorious performances. The Cronies are highly spoken of by both press and public of all towns visited throughout the British dominions, Fnglish, South African, Hindustani, Australian, and New Zealand leading dailies and musical publications being highly complimentary in their criticisms, all being unanimous in their opinion that the musical Cromes and their coterie of refined entertainers present a programme which lor quality, amusement, and all round excellence it would be hard to excel; each vocal, instrumental, and humorous item is rendered with credit and despatch, spiritedly given and with due precision. In the bell-ringing, five members of the company take part, and the ensemble is beautiful. Miss Maud Jdlsou is the possessor of a beautiful'and.sweet soprano voice of excellent quality. Mr Harry Fane is equally clever in his sleigh bells manipulations, baud hells, xylophone duets, or mandolin items. His cake walks with Misse Belle Crome are specially good, as is

also his impersonations of the softer sex. Mr Will Hughes supplies the comedy, his queer limplegged dancing and humorous ditties make him quickly a favourite. The Arnold Brothers juggle with an ease and ocxterily remarkable. Miss Bell Cromo is one of the mest versatile of versatile artists. She appears in musical numbers, cake walks, duels, etc. The company open a two nights’ season on Friday evening.
