A very good Sunshine comedy, "A Milk Fed Vamp," is also on the bill. HENRI FRENCH. New Plymouth is not often visited by high-grade vaudeville, so there should lis a crowded house at the (lood Templar Hall to-morrow evening to greet Tim Great Henri French and his talented company of refined vaudeville artists, who will open a six nights' season. Whilst Henri is undoubtedly the chief attraction, his balancing and conjuring feats being the talk of the Domirion. his company is one of exceptional merit and includes the following: Miss Rose Blossom. ("That Act Beautiful"), Millie. Ninon (a wonderful rille shot who uses noiseless and smokeless ammunition). W. White (who is well-known in New Zealand as a clever variety performer). Pnganini's (Jliost (the wonderful violinist), and Miss Elsie Simpson (ragtiie songs and dances). Speaking of the star performer the Palmerston Standard of recent date says: "As an exponent of the juggling art he is in the front rank of his profession, and his many skilful acts were warmly applauded. His balancing feats on the single wheel, in which he performed many difficult evolutions and escaped collisions which appeared inevitable, were little short of astonishing, and lie eclipsed this act bv playing a mandoline solo while still astride the wheel." A feature of tomorrow night's programme will be the "Charlie Chaplin" competition for local amateurs. Competitors wilt be allowed two feeders or assistants, end from tlirc to five minutes will he allowed for each comedy play, the audience to be the judges, giving their verdict by the heartiness of their applause.
