ENGLISH PIERROTS.

Without a doubt the best known company of its kind appearing in Australasia are “The English Pierrots/’ who will visit Pox ton to-mor-row night, in the Town Hall. During their recent season in Auckland, which is a record of -seven weeks, most liberal praise was bestowed on the combination by the press. The Herald says: “With the presentation of an excellent programme, the English Pierrots immediately established themselves as favourites. The initial appearance was marked bv a budget of items of music, mirth and melody that was highly entertaining. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity with an audience which expressed every satisfaction with the programme, and constantly demanded encores. The feature of the programme was the male quartet. Their singing was harmonious, and their treatment of the “Soldiers’ Chorus’’ from Faust was particularly fine. The English Pierrots present a programme of unusual variety, including excerpts from opera, quartets, solos, latest London sketches, dramatic items, dances, etc., in Revue style under the title of “Bits and Pieces.” The revue class of amusement is popular throughout the world, and this company are exceedingly fortunate in securing a London producer in Edmund Warrington, who is giving a variety of dramatic and humorous items, assisted by members of the company. TheaTregoers can feel assured of a good night’s amusement at the Pierrots entertainment. The box plan is at Heath's, The English Pierrots appear here for one night only, to-morrow evening, and the booking indicates that they will be greeted by a bumper house.
