THE PANTOMIME
"JACK AND THE BEANSTALK."
The fifth annual pantomime extravaganza to be presented by Mr J. C. Williamson to-morrow evening is the time-honoured fairy story, "Jack ani the Beanstalk." For the best part of last year, Mr Coventry, the eminent, producer, searched Europe and America for novel attractions, his success accounting for the unusual brilliancy of the production. The principals include Mr Jack Cannot, a famous pbrtrayer of pantomime dames; , Miss ', Flrmin, the Doherty sisters, MissMab- ') elle Morgan, one of the best "princi- | pal boys" in Great Britain. Also will i appear the famous Willie Pantser troupe, which isr one of the big fea- I tures of the pantomime. A long -jast also includes such well known favourite artists as Miss Marie Eaton, Evelyn Sherrard, Ede Calder, Mary Smith, Messrs 'William Hassan, the famous animal impersonates Bwt Watson, Clyde Cook, Bupert Darroll. Especially wonderful, we understand, are the spectacular effects, the principal of which are the growth of the beanstalk, . the building of the Australian Navy, the mysterious aeroplane, the Golden Gate of Cloudland. the Giant Blunderboro's Castle, the sumptuous Wedding Breakfast, and the brilliant march of the "Wines.'" There : are ballets of many kinds, the music for which has been composed by Mr Hamish Mao Gunn. It is stated that numerically "Jack and the Beamstalk" is the biggest organisation that Mr J. C. Williamson has yet sent to tour the Dominion. Owing to thelength of the play the curtain will rise ai 7.45. Patrons are requesfce»i to be in their-seats early. Pantomime is a-jsynonym for spectacle and splendour, for ballets, processions and, transformation scenes, a ,/fascinating blending of burlesque vaudeville; musical, comedy, and wild extravaganza ; a blaze of colour and scintillations of electrical lights, set amidst ravishingly animated surroundings. These salient attributes, it is said, Jack and the Beanstalk possesses in an astonishing degree.
