On this occasion the Vice-Regals oome to New Zealand reinforced by the inclusion in their ranks of that jester, Claude Dampier, one of the merriest fun machines that has appeared in New Zealand, and whose antics, face expression, and gestures proclaim hrea to be a veritable child of Thalia, the goddess of comedy. When Dampier appears round the corner of the proscenium, bloom makes a quick exit upstage, and does not reappear for the rest of the evening. On this occasion Dampier has Miss Hilda Attenboro for a partner, and the pair create a riot of rollicking fun for twenty minutes. The company is a. thoroughly sound one all round.
