AMUSEMENTS.

"A BACHELOR'S HONEiWIOOX," One of the strongest comedy companies that has ever visited New Zealand will support Mr. Hugh Ward next Thursday evening in the Theatre Royal when he will present the enormously successful musical farce entitled "A Bachelor's Honeymoon," They come Hushed with success from Australia and the South Maud, and are at present scoring a nightly triumph all along the the line, -where the immensely funny adventures of Benjamin Bachelor are moving crowded audiences to hysterical laughter. Mr. Hugh Ward is said to be iin his element in the part of Bachelor, I which is the type of character in which he is particularly brilliant, and gives ample opportunities for introducing some of liis wonderfully executed dances' i which have always been associated with; his past successes. Miss Grace Palotta has the bright and vivacious role in which she excels. Miss Rose Musgrove plays' a broad comedy study which she is said to mould into si perfect and intensely amusing caricature of the mo-dern-day "slavey." Miss celia Ghiloni will hide Iter personal charm Iwneath j the 'make-up of a sour spinster, but has a line opportunity for clever comely work. Mr. Reginald Wykeham plays the part of a lawyer, always in a 'hurry. Mr. Arthur Eldred impersonates a young German doctor with much humour. Mr. Robert Greig will be seen as a somewhat extravagant detective, always' after clues, and Mr. H. 11. Wallace dispenses comedy as a wan-servant, while Miss Ruby Baxter and Miss Florence Redfern appear as the twin daughters of Bachelor. Apart from the undoubted strength of the company, the greatest attraction is the play "A Bachelor's Honeymoon" for its reputation as a laughter maker precedes it and all theatregoers' will throng to see a production in which they are assured of a real hearty laugh. The inquiries for seats have already begun, therefore it is advisable to book early at the Collier Piano Co., when the plan opens on Monday, November S at 8.30 a.m., as the company can only appear here for one night. Mr. Ward will visit Hawera on Wediiiesdav November D.
