A special interpreter has to travel with this party. The Kwong Sing Wah family, from the Tivoli Theatre, Sydney, can trace their ancestry for many generations. Each generation has excelled in the art oY magic and acrobatics. This sensational troupe will also open at the New Regent at an early date. The salary of this combination is Said to approach £SOO weekly. The management have to place a deposit of £IOO for each member of the party with the Customs Department.
Henry Mortimer, who was in Auckland with “Abie’s Irish Rose,” sends greetings from the Lambs’ Club in New York. His characterisation of the kindly Rabbi in New Zealand was an excellent piece of work.
