"MRS WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH."
On Wednesday next, Mr J. C. Williamson will produce, at the Town Hall, "Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." The character of Mrs Wiggs has been made as interesting in the dramatisation by Mrs Flexner as Mrs Rice made it in the book. The stage drawing is apparently true to life. It is not necessary to dwell upon the happenings in Mrs Wiggs, beyond saying that the marriage of the timid Mis' Hazy to the veteran Mr Stubbins, furnishes the list of comedy, and that the story of "Lovey Mary" and "Little Tommy" involving Mr Stubbins' fall from grace and Mr Wiggs' final reformation, give the touch of the pathetic that serves to show the true worth of IVrs Wigg's character. The Company that will interpret the play has been specially imported from America and England by Mr Williamson, and are in the most cases the originals of the various characters they will pourtray in Masterton. The box plan will be open at Miss Rive's tomorrow morning.
