LITTLE 80-PEEP PANTOMIME.

At the Town Hall, the company which some time ago produced “Old Mother Hubbard,” is to appear in an entirely new pantomime entitled “Little 80-Peep.” the girl who lost her sheep. All the old favourites who made themselves so popular on their last visit are to re-appear in parts which give them plenty of opportunities to display their talents. Mr George Hurpur is again, to be the Dame, and the part is, if anything, funnier than in “Old Mother Hubbard.” Miss Lulla Fanning is the dashing principal boy, who falls in love with the chaiming heroine of the story, “Little 80-Peep,” the latter part being charmingly played by Miss Audrey Carlyle. Fat comedy parts have also been alotted to Mr Arthur Bertram and Miss Rubee Raymond. Others in the cast are Miss Blanche Simmers, Miss Muriel Green, Mr Fred White and Mr Arthur Meredith. New specialities are to be. introduced by Arthur and Rubee Bertram, acrobatic dancers; Fred White, the talking violinist, and Miss Laurie MacLeod the clever and graceful exponent of Egyptian dances. 'Phe wonderful lyric soprano, Miss Ethel Osborn, has a new budget of songs, and lovers of really good music should not miss hearing this great artiste. The production will bo replete with new and beautiful costumes and scenery, pretty ballets and all the latest songs. This will be the last opportunity of seeing'lhis talented company as arrangements have been made for their return to Australia after a quick tour through the North Island with “Little. 80-Peep.” Although this, company is such an expensive one the prices of admission are well within the reach of all so a bumper house should greet them on their return. The box plan is at Heath’s, where seats may be reserved without extra charge.
