HIS MAJESTY’S
“ROSE MARIE” The trials and tribulations of “Rose Marie” and her lover, Jim Kenyon, continue to gain the enthralling and sympathetic interest of light opera devotees. Last evening the company at His Majesty’s set out on the last week of the Auckland season, and as evidence that this entrancing musical and dancing production has maintained its hold on the imagination the theatre was again packed. Truly “Rose Marie” has given theatrical folk something to talk about, and at the same time given “The Firm” something to do to live up to its reputation. The wonders of the famous “Totem Pole” dance continue to arouse the audience to spontaneous applause, every new and unexpected move o£ the gaily costumed ballet girls being enthusiastically received. Throughout the dancing may be called the outstanding feature of “Rose Marie,” but then one cannot overlook the splendid chorus work in support of the beautiful singing of the leads, Miss Harriet Bennet (“Rose Marie”) and Mr. Reginald Dandy (Jim Kenyon). Then the're are the many exquisite settings, and finally, but by no means least, the fine orchestration. Yes, “Rose Marie” continues to leave a never-ending impression, an impression that will live long after the season concludes on Saturday night next.
