Mr Dix secured <** Mr Callaway for his New Zealand companies, and in Wellington a lono his season lasted 18 weeks. The Williams Quartette are another most successful engagement, and their cycling act always creates a sensation. Miss Nellie Vohe is a balladist witlr a beautiful contralto voice, and her numbers are amongst the mosf popular items on the programme.
