Backed up with, a splendid reputation, it oufliht to draw a packed house. Miss Dora Rignold. who takes the leading role os Sylvia Futvoye, is the niece of George Rignold ("Handsome George," George Rex, of Henry famenobody can forget George Rignold as Henry V.), and is in private life Mrs. Arthur Sonnies. Dora Rignold was last in New Zealand with George Musgrove's incomparable production, "The Midsummer Night's Dream" as "Tetania." In England Miss Rignold is acknowledged us beinc; one of the best ladv riders to the hands. She is a member of the Quorn, tin- Bichester and the Devon Hunt 'Chi.!)*, and has many times been in at the ('rath, so the recipient of the ir>uel,i-"i>vc'-"d brush. Tn "The Brass T>..l|i ( , •> THgnold will wear a number of most delicate and delightful confections, we believe. Tn the first act, a novel creation by Pasquin, of Paris, is noticeable, also a wonderful dinner dress b"- the same artiste. A pale blue merveilleux robe in the supper scene is also spoken of as very much out of the common. Miss Rignold was speejally engaged bv Mr. J. if. Williamson in London for 'lie A"-t--!<|.i«; : in tour. There is also a th-iu." a .THius Knight. Wallace Browrdow and a Charles Ryley rolled into one in the cast of "The Brass Bottle"—to wit, Leslie Holland. Mr. Leslie Holland is accounted one of the handsomest actors on the modern English 1 stage. He is tall, dark and dcbonnair. He will exploit the vicissitudes of Horace Ventimore. the unfortunate young gentleman who was driven to madness by the plethoric assiduity of the well-mean-ing but embarrassiii,™ "Jinnee" of the 'Brass Bottle. Mr. Holland is a firstclass golfer, owns a yacht on the Solent, and is one of the best amateur billiard players in Great Britain.
