"80-PEEP" PANTOMIME.

Anywhere where pantomime is announced" to be staged the playgoer associates' something quite out of the ordinary iti the music, scenery, and dressing, beautiful girls, singers and dancers. KulhTmgiVt 'of this is promised in the production next Thursday at tlic Town Hall of "80-Poep" by M'Kay's Royal Pantomime Company, which' is-making its first tour of the Dominion. This company ■ numbers fifty performers; 1 all of them experienced artists in the special class of entertainment; 1 and with the exception of several all making their first appearance here. The dancing alone will hi- a feature of the production, and some new and novel ballet* will he introduced, ' notably the ■ "Floral Ballet," in which each shapely participant represents some beautiful flower. The music has been specially written by Mr Harry Taylor, who has had many years' successful experience in this class of work. His music is of the "catchy" order, and wherever it ha:been played it immediately earns the hall-marl's of popularity. The songs are also from Mr Harry Taylor's prolific pen, and the merit of all those sung in "80-Peep" is that they arc not "hackneyed. The principal bo} (Miss Kathleen Mack), 80-Peep (Mis* Rita Webb), Miss Cora Terry and Miss Esme M'Lellan all have charming mina here allotted to them, whilst-the principal comedians (Mr Brace .Prysclalr and Mr Victor Loydall) aVo 'jw&H-sup plied" with songs which.tend to topical illusions. The scenery U from the brash of Mr'Barry Whaite and this artist has excelled himself ir many magnificent stage 'settings, including a gorgeous setting, "The Ftnr Seasons,"'a transformation scene. Tb< Company is at present having a sue cessful tour throughout the Ho minion. The box plan opens a' Grnbb's on Monday morning. BERNARD'S PICTURES.
