HIS MAJESTY’S
“ROSE MARIE” The magnificence of the Totem Pole ballet is still taking the breath away of capacity houses at His Majesty’s Theatre, where “Rose Marie” is entering upon its final week. Nothing quite as lavish, as tuneful and as beautiful as this romance of the Canadian Rockies, has ever come to New Zealand before. It is a supermusical comedy, the last word and perhaps the ultimate perfection of this form of art. Harriet Bennet, who plays the title role, is a dainty and charming little lady and acquits herself well. Reginald Danby makes a convincing hero, who knows how to act his part and who sings with understanding. Stephanie Deste plays the role of Wanda to perfection, and her acrobatic dancing is a feature of the show. “Rose Marie” will be presented until Saturday night, and there will be matinees on Friday and Saturday. Hundreds were turned away from the matinee yesterday afternoon.
