A COUNTRY GIRL

The comic opera, "A Country Girl,'' which is to be produced in the Town Hall on Thursday next, was first put on at Daly's Theatre, London, some sixteen years ago, when it achieved an instantaneous success, ant! since then its popularity lias never waned It is brimful of captivating musical numbers, all of which have had a long and popular run. They include, to mention a few,' ; "Under the Deodar," "Coo," "My Little Girlie," "Yolio L-tle Girls," etc. The eccentric quartette "Take your Pretty Partners," is particularly eAtbhy. The" plot of the play 'is cleverly'conceived ;; arid worked out, and is familiar to many theatregoers. There is not one dull moment from opening chorus to the grand finale, not a moment" that is not intensely interesting. Quite a feature of the production will he the magnificent scenery arid gorgeous dressing, which will he as fine as anything hitherto seen in Stratford. The special train, which leaves New Plymouth at 5.35 p.m., and returns after the performance, should"' prove a great boom to country residents wishing to witness this grond production.

HIS MAJESTY'S PICTURES

To-night's programme of pictures at His Majesty's is pronounced by the management to be the strongest yet screened in Stratford. Besides the pick of last night's change, there will be an expensive star attraction "Sweet Nell of Old Drury," with Miss Nellie. Stewart, Australia's premier star actress in the title role of Nell GWynne. We have had Madame Sarah Bernhardt, Asta Neilsen and a few of tin world's best actresses screened nt Bernard's in photo plays, hut this is the only picture taken by the Kinecamera of this famous Nellie Stewart. To attempt to say one wrong won' about Our Nell's acting in Australia would mean that the person would have a very sad time in Australia. Will Diamond, who has travelled with some of the star shows,both opera anc 1 drama, states that he would rather have Nellie Stewart as a performer than any of the much-starred actress es throughout his thirty-five years theatrical life in different parts of tin world. The production is on an immense scale, both for noting, dressing and scenic efforts. The whole of the production has been carried out under the personal supervision of Mr George Musgrove, whose association with the play since its Australian premiere, combined with the long experience of our experts, has resulted in an artistic triumph. Anyone failing to see this gigantic production will miss one big phance of a life time. To-night only. The doors will be opened at sever o'clock sharp, and the performance will commence sharp at S o'clock.
