THE “DANDIES.”

OTAKI— WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Mr Edward Branscombe’s most xecent company of ‘‘The Dandies” will appear at Otaki next Wednesday. “The Dandies” are at present conducting one of tho most successful tours oa record, and an exchange says: The return of Mr Edward Branscombe’s clever company, “The Dandies,” was responsible for an overflowing attendance at the theatre last evening. “The Dandles” need no recommendation. They are old and tried friends. The company which appeared last evening are well up to standard, and worthily upheld the fine reputation established by their predecessors. In song, jest, , and dance they held the stage to the great enjoyment of the large audience for just over .two hours, and the general verdict at the conclusion of the bright sh&w was that these clever entertainers excel in the art of entertaining. There were no dull moments. All was bright and gay, and the brilliance of the performers proved a delightful tonie to all, not forgetting those who. in these days of stress, are afflicted with jaded nerves.” While comedy is a prominent feature in the programme of “The Dandies,” room is found for several excellent musical numbers. 1 among these being selections from wellknown operas. It is a condition that every “Dandy”, must be a singer of more than average merit, and by the enforcement of -this rule the companyare enabled to present many striking numbers not within the Tange or rirope of similar organisations. Box plans are at Mr T. A. King’s.
