“ALADDIN."

■AND IDS WONDERFUL LAMP. TOWN HALL. FOXTON. This Pantomime has been produced bv various theatrical managements on very many occasions. Pint it oiniiig presentation 0 a new anil novel -‘•Aladdin," entirely dif ferent from any previous production. The story in its essential details is tin l same Arabian Nights tale. Bui the telling of the story as interpreted by Winifred La. France and Lester Sinclair, with their brilliant supporting company, is a thing of delight, packed from the rise to ihi- fall of the curtain with music, -■mil tli ami melody, set in n glittering Eastern background. All that patrons will remember is ilml they stalled laughing at (he beginning of the performance and were srill laughing when they left ihe theatre. The chorus and ballet lias la oil considerably enlarged, whilst a number of supornnmeries have been included in order to create the necessary Oriental atmosphere, part icnla rly in the Eastern Bazaar scenes. A point which assures the success of the produel ion is the keenness of the entire company and the intense interest which is being taken by the mothers of the ballet and chorus, in every detail of the performance, which makes the work of Miss La France and Mr Sinclair in producing tin l pantomime, one long round of pleasure. Mr Sinclair will be pleased to receive any verses of local interest from residents of Foxton. Such verses should he written in a metre, so that they mSy he sung to the popular tune of.“ Who Killed Cock Robin.” A prize will he awarded in the writer of the host verse, of which the public will he the judge on the night of the pantomime. All entries should he addressed lo Mr Sinclair, care Town Hall. Move anon.
