The production to-night wiU be that English, Australian, and New Zealand success "As Midnight Chimes." This drama, after- breaking all records aft over the Commonwealth opened to enormous business in Wellington and ran for oignt consecutive performances to big business. It is said to be a welcome departure lrom the orthodox drama, and therein apparently lies its charm. There is nothing of the lurid nature about the piece, but there are some very striking uramatic situations, all so dleverly worked up that the interest'of the audiences appears to be held intently throughout. The situations are all cleverly worked out, and are aided by fine scenic and other effects. The full metropolitan company, with complete scenery, will appear. The box plan for to-night's performance is at Cdllier's Music Warehouse, >vhile tickets for the back stalls and pit may also be obtained there. Prices are 4s, 2s 6d, and Is. No early doors.
