FOR CHARITY’S SAKE

OPERETTA AT TOWN HALL Before a large audience in the Town Hall concert chamber, the Japanese operetta, ‘Princess Chrysanthemum,’* produced on Saturday evening - in *id of the funds of the Auckland City Mission. The cast was well balanced, and the Principals all did satisfactory work. Miss Peggy Cutting, as the princess, sang her solo numbers sweetly, and *n«t with so much favour that she had Jo repeat them. Her duets with Mr. !*• Stewart were also effective. Both Miss Z. Cameron and Miss G. Caraeron contributed also to the singing. There were a number of effective ballets which bore evidence of artistic schooling. Swift action and an intensely human story are said to be the outstanding features of ‘‘Loves Hungry,’* Pox Pilms’ production, featuring Lois Moran and Lawrence Gray. Lois Moran has the featured role of a wise *it tie chorus girl and Lawrence Gray Jhat of a hard-boiled newspaper man. The part of a show girl for the denaure Miss Moran may seem strange, until it is remembered that she trained Jo be a duncer in Paris, so she is capable of interpreting the part, y Ultra in the cast are Marjorie Beebe, •John Patrick, Edythe Chapman and James Neil. A Victor Heerman production.
