STARR-BALDWIN COMPANY

On Saturday evening, at the Masonic Hall, the Starr-Baldwin Company will present one of their highly interesting entertainments. In speaking of this combination a northern contemporary says ; The “Star” turn, that is of Starr and Leslie, is a smart new act; they are a whole show in themselves.

Dr. Rowe is a genial wizard who keeps on excellent terms with his audience by a running fire of humorous patter during the performance of numerous conjuring illusions.

Mr Colin Stuart and the other members of the company acquitted themselves creditably, each part showing briskness and finish, and it is safe to say that it will command attention from all lovers of a bright and refined entertainment.

An afternoon matinee for children will be given at 3.30 p.m. when the little ones will be admitted to all parts for sixpence.
