ALLAN WILKIE COY.

“THE POTTERS.” 1_ i n A threatical treat is promised for next Monday evening. 23rd August, when the Allan Wilkie Comedy Company will appear in the great London comedy success “The Rotters” at the Taihape Town Hall.

The leading figure is Councillor Clugson, a self-inae and somewhat ignorant man, who has risen to the middleclass of provincial North of England. He is eager to impress everyone with the worthiness of his family particularly as he is desirous of becoming Mayor of his town. From a series of outward developments are evolved most 'laughable situations. His younger daughter is expelled from college for flirting with a choir boy, his only son is arrested for drunkenness and assaulting the police, he surprises his elder daughter in the arms qjf his chauffeur, and he discovers that his wife was a widow when he married her although she had kept that fact secret from him for thirty years. But a most mirth-provoking denouement is provided by an unexpected revelation concerning another member of the household. The box yJlan is open at Pratt and Company,
