HIS MAJESTY’S

“NO, NO, NANETTE” A show can always be judged by the talk in the street, and the size of the early door’s crowd that gathers to secure concessions. The talk in the street is that “No, No, Nanette” is “a jolly good show,” and the early doors crowd start taking up their places in the morning! No more need be said to recommend “No, No, Nanette” as a bright, cleverly humorous, swinging musical comedy that must rank among the best that has yet been presented to Auckland. From beginning to end it varies from beautiful frocking and dancing to catchy music and songs, the whole theme and execution being screamingly funny. Elsie Prince, as Nanette, is vivacious and delightful, and the audiences so far have been unable to have enough of her, though she is on the boards nearly all through the piece. Jimmy Godden and Charlton Morton, as the credulous husband whose affairs with several women form the light plot, and his lawyer, are among the cleverest Auckland has seen. Elsie Parkes, Nellie Dean and Gladys Hermes, in their various roles, like all the others, enter into the spirit of the thing, and audience and players are enjoying themselves. . The frocking is magnificent, and the dancing either entertaining or wonderful, the latter describing the solo effort of Alma Mackie in a remarkable highkicking effort. “No, No, Nanette” will continue for another week with matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
