THE ENGLISH PIERROTS.

During the season of seven weeks in Auckland which the English Pierrots have just concluded, the press were unanimous in their praise of the company and programme. The Herald, speaking of the second change, says: —“The new programme presented by the English Pierrots to a large audience on Saturday evening provided a most enjoyable entertainment, entirely free from Unwholesome features, and abounding with bright musical items and humorous interludes. Setting a merry swing with their opening chorus, tiie company kept the ball of fun and frolic rolling for over two hours, while the audience was treated to items gay and grave by artists who thoroughly understand the art of entertaining.” The Pierrots this year are presenting their entertainment under a revue style with the title of “Bits and Pieces.” The programme includes exempts from well-known operas, latest London humorous sketches, quartets, solos, dances, mimetic novelties and individual scones by each member of the company. The company is exceptionally strong in musical * numbers and comedies — plenty of laughter and fun is promised, and on the musical side the Pierrots are renowned for their and operatic numbers. Well-known members of the company who are appearing again this year include Ohas. F. Lawrence, David J. Lyle, Roy Cooke, Leslie Austin, Lillian Colenzo, Ena Gordon and Joy Rolls; new members are Iza Crossley, Moya Crossley, Harry Schofield and a London producer, Edmund Warrington. The Pierrots appear in Foxton on Friday night, in the Town Hall, for one night only. The box plan is at Heath’s.
