HIS MAJESTY’S
“NO! NO! NANETTE!” “No, No, Nanette” again attracted a large house at His Majesty’s last night. Throughout the three acts there were frequent outbursts of enthusiasm, especially after the exquisite representation of “Tea For Two” and “I Want to be Happy,” but it was at the final fall of the curtain that the audience displayed its keen appreciation. 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 high-kicking effort. “No, No, Nanette” will continue for another week with matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays.'
