ENGLISH PIERROTS

“The popular coterie of entertainers known as ‘The English. Pierrots’ appear to have an inexhaustible repertoire of music, song and humour,” says the Auckland Herald, during the recent season of seven weeks played in the northern city. This well known combination will appear in Foxton on Tuesday next, for one night only, and will present an all new programme, which will include excerpts from opera, latest London sketches, new feature numbers, dances, solos, quartets and novelties. The new programmes are run on revue lines, under the title of “Bits and Pieces.” It is the latest amusement idea from England, and has become the rage in England, America and Australia. The company have secured Lieut. Edmund Warrington, a London producer, to stage their new revues. This player will appear in many of his original sketches, including a “Dud Dream.” a military play that is still showing throughout England—and which was shown before H.R.H. the Prince of Wales in London, with Lieut. Edmund Warrington in his original role. Many of the old favourites — Chas. E. Lawrence, Davd J. Lyle, Leslie Austin, Roy Cooke, Ena Gordon, Joy Rolls and Lillian Colenzo —are still with the Pierrots, whilst the newcomers include Aloya Crossley, Isa Crosslev and Harry Schofield. The Pierrots are this tour presenting an entirely new type of entertainment, which has become extremely popular. The box plan is at Heath’s. The Pierrots are sure to receive a hearty welcome from local theatregoers.
