HIS MAJESTY’S
“NO! NO! NANETTE!” Enthusiasm reigned throughout the three acts last evening when “No, No, Nanette,” was produced before a large and critical audience at His Majesty’s Theatre. Unbounded appreciation was given to the gems so well known which have preceded the show. Though previously heard on the gramophone, “Tea for Two,” and “I Want to be Happy,” were rendered last evening as if the}’’ were new to the audience, who thoroughly enjoyed them and, like Oliver Twist, called for more. “No, No, Nanette,” which is gorgeously frocked, is set to catchy songs, while the dancing is all that could be desired. The humour which runs through the whole piece is extremely ludicrous. Elsie Prince, as Nanette, is vivacious and delightful. Jimmy Godden and Charlton Morton put plenty of “pep” into their parts and are the cleverest pair seen in Auckland for some time. Elsie Parkes, Nellie Dean and Gladys Hermes all enter into the spirit of the show, while the solo effort of Alma Mackie in a high-kicking dance is splendid. “No, No, Nanette,” will be continued until Saturday night, and a special matinee will be given on Saturday afternoon.
