THE RED DANDIES.

TOWN HALL NEXT SATURDAY.

Within the next few' days we will have a visit from the ever popular Rod Dandies who will appear for one night at the Town Hall. This company of entertainers will be remembered for their fine programmes which they presented throughout their tour of tin’s country just over two years ago, and this time has only served to add to their store of good humour, musical abilities and entertaining powers, and they are certain of a hearty welcome on their return after an absence which should only make their many friends keener to renew acquaintance. In the present company there are nine artists who have been working together for a long time, and the result is that there is cohesion in the productions which

ensures success and the programmes are never dull or patchy; each [individual artist is an important piece of the human mechanism that works smoothly with the one view in mind —to entertain the audience and to convince the good people in front that it is a pleasure to entertain them. The pivot on which this delicate piece of mechanism works is Mr Claude Dampier; he is the fun centre, and he as stage manager and producer is responsible for the artistic presentation of everything the Dandies have gained a reputation for. In addition to Mr Dampier there are three other members of the original company. Miss Irene Vere, comedienne: Mr Oliver Peacock, tenor; Mr Leonard Griffiths, pianist, who will make their reappearance on Satin# day next, and the new artists are Miss Mona Thoms, a charming lyric soprano. Miss Ida Newton, a clover and most versatile souhrette, Mr John Welby a young baritone with a fine voice and artistic interpretative powers, Mr Harry Borradale. an elocutionist of very great merit and a light comedian with a most keen sense of humour. Mr Cyril Connolly is a talented violinist and dancer. The box plan for the one performance opens at Grubb’s ou Thursday morning next, and intending patrons

should avail themselves of the opportunity of securing a seat. There is no booking fee, and no extra charges for early doors. The season is absolutely limited to one night, next Saturday.
