“THE FAMOUS N.Z. DIGGERS."

TOWN HALL, THURSDAY NEXT

After a wonderfully successful season in Australia, under the J. C. Williamson banner, “The Famous "Diggers” are making a return visit to New Zealand. Under the. direction of Mr Victor Beck, who has introduced many high-class companies to the Dominion, and under the management-of Tano Fama, Frank Perkins, and Stan Lawson, this remarkable. combination ’ will appear at the Town Hall on Thursday next, and will present an entirely new programme, full of mirth, fun, and frivolity. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the number of “Digger” companies that have appeared before Australasian audiences since the advent of “The Famous Diggers” is but a tribute to their excellence and unprecedented success. “The Famous Diggers” return to New Zealand bigger, brighter, and better than ever, and with a thorough knowledge of just vvliat Dominion audiences require in the way of bright and breezy entertainment. Once again will patrons delight in the artistry of that inimitable “misleading lady,” Stan Lawson. The clever comedian, Tano Fama, is a mirth-provok-ing 'artist of excellence. Donald Stuart, comedian, Don. Wallace, character vocalist, Colin Cameron, lyric tenor, Gus Dawson, ragtime exponent and dancer, and Len Walker, dancer and light comedian, are a tower of strength. Frank Perkins, baritone, and George Proctor, tenor, are vocalists who have already made their name. “The Famous Diggers” Company consists of no less than 20 members, the orchestra of 10 jieing a special feature of the entertainment. The box plan is at Heath’s.
