ENTERTAINMENTS

TINY TOWN. ' The wonderful little organisation known as "Tiny Town," -which concluded a record season of 17 performances in the large Town Hall, Wellington, last week, will appear at the Theatre lloyal, Now Plymouth, on Thursday next, when it will give performances—one in the afternoon and one at night. The amazing little people 'have played in all the leading cities of tlie Commonwealth, and in Sydney alone put up a record of 120 performances. The entertainment given by the midget men and women is one which would be considered excellent if presented by full-grown people. When it is remembered that the heights of the tiny mites are from 30 to 38 inches, the performance is little short of remarkable. Mile. Ilonk.t, a beautiful Hungarian of 34 inches, is a.globe walker.and. equestrienne performer; Miss Anita is a wire walker 27 years of age and small enough to stand on the palm of an ordinary sized man; Miss Isabel Borschoff i 3 a 33-inch musician and dancer; Hcrr Arthur Ruble, a ringmaster of 34 inches; Hiss Haiini Andre, a soubrette who is 38 inches high: and whose hair sweeps the floor; Mr. Alfonso, a midget strong man, who can carry two big men on hid. chest: Mr. Ponipeo, an acrobat; Mr". Fred Saner, a juggler; Mr. Morello, a wonderful contortionist. Then there is Hayati Ikssid, the renowned. Mayor of Tiny Town, and undoubtedly smallest man in the world, who is at the head of the Vaudeville section, and David Amistrong, the popular Tiny Town policeman, whose songs and dances and rigorous* attention to duty in arresting all people liable to step on the midgets causes a heap of fun. and clowns, dancers, singers and a complete company that has sent Sydney, Melbourne. Adelaide. Christchurch and Wellington all agog with enthusiasm. The first performance on Thursday will be at .'! o'clock in the afternoon, and the second one at S o'clock, but the Miniature Village will be opened one hour earlier in each case. The box plan for both entertainments will open at Collier's on Monday morning.
