THE SCARLET TROUBADOURS.
The "Scarlet Troubadours" from London have just completed a most successful tour through Australia, and judging from the laudatory press criticisms which have preceded them their performances should prove just as popular in New Zealand. They are a Comedy Costume Company, and their efforts have been to appeal not only to the educated musician who enjoys good music, but also to those who like their music enlightened by the introduction of refined humour and harmless mirth. The style of programme they present and their way of presenting them are new to this part of the world, although in England they have become perhaps the most fashionable and popular form of musical entertainment in vogue. Miss May Glenn (prima donna) is from the Lyric Theatre, London; Mr Sydney Mannenng was principal tenor with the Moody-Manners Opera Company; Mr Alfred Cunningham and Mr Ford Waltham were both late members of the London Meister Glee Singers. The company will only appear here for two nights, their season opening at the Town Hall to-morrow.
