ENGLISH PIERROTS.

“Bits and Pieces” is the title under which the English Pierrots arc this year presenting -their .wellknown and popular programmes. It is the latest revue style of entertainment, that has become the rage throughout England, America and Australia, and the Pierrots have been fortunate enough to secure Edmund Warrington, whose productions have been seen in many London theatres, and have been played before H.R.11. the Prince of Wales in London when Edmund Warrington appeared in his original roles. The Company have just concluded a record season of seven weeks in Auckland, and the Star, in commenting on their opening bill, says: “The English Pierrots opened in the Town Hall under most auspicious conditions. The hall was crowded, and the Pierrots presented those present with a bright, clean and varied entertainment, which was appreciated to the utmost, and encore items were much in demand. The individual members for the most part are equally at home as vocal soloists or monologuists, with thL rare outstanding feature, there is no similarity in the turns.” The Company includes old favourites, who will no doubt be warmly welcomed, in Ena Gordon, soprano, Lilian Colenzo, comedienne, Joy Rolls, danseuse, Leslie Austin, humorist and dancer, Roy Cooke, basso, David J. Lyle, tenor, and Clias. E. Lawrence, entertainer and musical director. New artists are Iza Crossley, soubrette, Moya Crossley, violinists, Harry Schofield, baritone, and Edmund Warrington, London producer. As this company have been for so many years well and favourably known to theatregoers, a successful visit is assured them iu Pox tori, on Friday next, in the Town Hall. The box plan is at Heath's, and theatregoers are advised to secure their seat-, as there is sure to be a bumper bouse to greet these well-known entertainers on their first visit to .Foxton.
