ENTERTAINMENTS.

+ ——— CHARLEY’S AUNT. Several years have elapsed since that over popular stage comedy, “Charley’s Aunt,” was last presented locally and the announcement that .Mr. Mhirran Ward, an eminent English actor, wili appear with this old favourite at the Town Hail Tuesday night will he received with interest. It will also awaken pleasant memories among old I heatre-gocr.s, for there arc still many who remember when the late Charles Arnold first presented Charley’s Aunt” in this country. It is one of those rare comedies which never grow old and will always retain a delightful freshness. This is because the piny is cleverly written and the dialogue is clean and altogether free from any suggestion ol vulgarity. It abounds in most humorous and sometimes absurd situations, as of course, all farcial comedies should do, and throughout its three acts never fails lo command attention and create much laughter. Mr. Warren Ward and his company recently completed n most successful season of 11 performances at His Majesty’s Theatre, Auckland, where “Charley’s Aunt” for a time became the vogue of the city. It is not often that company of the calibre of that visiting Uoxton next Tuesday, appears locally and doubtless a large audience will greet them. Seats may he reserved at R. U. Heath’s.
