STEPHENSON'S COMEDY CO.
Sixty people, including an orchestra of ten, chorus of thirty, and ballet of eight, form a large company to carry through the provincial towns of Now Zealand. Mr Stephenson, of the English Musical Comedy Company, has succeeded in doing this before, and his present tour bids fair to be even more successful than any previous one. The following regarding this company is from an Australian paper, and shows what playgoers may expect on Tuesday night, when "Bill Adams" will tell Mastertonians how he won the battle of Waterloo:—"Mr Stephenson has been eminently successful in surrounding himself with a company of artists who are in every way capable of doirrg justice alike to the music and the comedy of the pieoe. Bill Adams, unlike so many extravaganzas, is not a one-man play. Cn the contrary, it affords ample for the exhibition of the humourous powers of every one in the cast, and with such a company of comedians, singers, and dancers, it may be taken for granted that no points are missed and no opportunity for effective work negleoted."
