“OLD MOTHER HUBBARD” PANTOMIME.

TO-MORROW NIGHT. A big pantomime, which will include Father Christmas, a fairy princess, a dashing and shapely principal boy, and his dainty sweetheart, a. funny old lady and her troublesome husband, a humorous dog, pretty and clever ballet dancers, excellent specialities, beautiful scenery and costumes, and, in fact, everything that goes to. make up a entertainment, is promised at the Town Hall, Foxton, tomorrow (Friday) night. “Old Mother Hubbard” is the title of the pantomime, and round the .old nursery rhyme has been woven a very interesting story that holds the audience’s attention from the rise of the curtain to the final tableaux. Particular attention has been paid to the musical portion of the programme, and the management has been fortunate in securing a voice of beautiful quality for the part of the Fairy Princess. Never before in the pantomime lias a finer voice been heard than that of Miss Ethel Osborn, and lovers of good music are in for a treat. Others with voices well above the average are Miss Lulla Fanning and Miss Audrey Carlyle, the principal boy and girl. Most of the songs are backed up by a ballet and chorus of pretty girls. Dancing enthusiasts should not miss the big jazz scene, in which Arthur and Bertram introduce their latest dance creations. In spite of (lie sizp of the new combination, and the large expense of touring through the country, the management is keeping to popular prices. The box plan is at Heath’s, where seats may he reserved without extra charge.
