THE PANTOMIME

"JACK AND THE BEANOTALK."

The- box plan for "Jack and the Biean-stalk" will be opened at Miss' Rive's on Saturday morning.. "Jack and the Beanstalk," the airy, fairy istory of the wayward son, the impecunious but jovial Dam© Trot, and the wicked Giant Blunderbore, will (bo told by Mr J.. C. Williamson's Pantomime Company at the Town .Hall on Wednesday, next., Glitter, glory and go would appear to be the;'i»am concomitants of. the extravaganza, which is said to fairly mm.-riot, in .colour, costumes, and comedy. On the vaudeville .side of the entertainment, the marvellous Willie Bjftvfczer troupe ; of acrobats and tumblers command first notice. Their act is-claimed to he a succession of feats iso astounding, as to fairly tafce away ithe -breath, of the spectator. One .man, two youths, and a couple of small boys comprise the organisation. The way they make light of the most difficult feats of head to head {balancing, the most hazardous tricks of strength, and so rapidly are these performed that the onlooker, it is caid, ■ is-- bewildered and spellbound. Another vaudeville specialty, said in many ways to mark a distinct advance on anything of the kind presented here, is the "turn" provided by the Misses Lillian audi Anna Doherty, described as America's "Ginger Girls." One of this unusually 'talented pair gives an. exposition of a French dancer in an. Aemrican skirt dance. The two ladies together present a clever sketch, which terminates with ..a whirlwind dance of great 'agility and grace. Of the. many delightful chorus effects, none is prettier than, "Shine, Little? G-lovsvworm, Shine," the rythmic "It's Growing," or the chorus of "the J3eanstalk. The ensemble and (concerted numbers include "The Aeroplajie Song," the "Doll" quartette, and the Newal Cadets.
