“THE SHOW GIRL.”

A BRIGHT MUSICAL COMEDY.

In selecting "The Show Girl" for their 1927 production the Levin" Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society have chosen a piece that will make a big appeal to the public. Like most of the lighter musical comedie3 of the "girl" type its plot is slight but intricate and every act is liberally studded with comic situations that hold the audience in good humour to the final curtain. Arthur Hylton, an impressionable voung man, has an innocent adventure with the leading lady from a gaiety Theatre during a period of loneliness Avliile his wife is on holiday. Bona Nancarrow, ±'qi- such is the young lady's name, is anxious for her own amusement to continue the affair and has firmly established herself in Arthur's home on the morning Tiis wife returns from her holiday. To avoid an unpleasant situation Arthur introduces the lady as his niece who is expected from 'overseas, but when the real niece arrives the predicament becomes more and more complicated, until the whole household, even to the servants, are intrigued and the truth of the affair sounds so ridiculous that there really seems no escape from the avalanche of incriminating incidents that have descended upon the unfortunate Hylton, but like all good plays there is quite a satisfactory ending that sends the audience home in a good humour with the play, the performers and the world in general. The production will be staged in the De Luxe Theatre, Levin, on Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 21, and the box plan is now open at K. Aitken'a
