"THE MIKADO."
1 ♦ A BOSH FOB SEATS. Never before in local theatrical history has greater interest been infused into a theatrical attraction than that displayed over the coming production of "The Mikado" at the Theatre Royal to-mor-row evening and the two following even--1 ings. It is quite safe to predict that the theatre will be taxed to its utmost capacity. It is some thirty years since New Zealanders were first delighted with the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, and yet they are now just as popular with the public as when they weie first staged, "The Mikado" was first produced at the j Savoy Theatre, London, on Saturday, March 14, 1885, and to this day the opera has always remained the first in public favoritism. A novel feature of the local production, of which the effect will be seen by the audience, is the elaborate arrangements being made fijr lighting of the scenery and ballet. The box plan for the three nights' season opened at Collier's Music Warehouse on Saturday morning, and there was £plcndid~booking throughout ibe day. The attendance to-morrow night will probably prove a record for the Theatre, and it is safe to say that the programme will so delight beholders that it will be a case of "go again."
