GRATTAN RIGGS COMPANY.
THE IRISH DETECTIVE ! The advent in our midst ot such an exception - ally -world-wide artist as Grattan Higgs, is something the residents of Northern Wairoa have never before experienced. Mr Higgs is such an artist that he has made the world resound with his praises, for possibly no dramatic star has ever enjoyed such a reputation. We have all heard of his great masterpiece ‘ The Irish Detective.’ a piece ho hus essayed throughout the length and breadth of the English speaking uuiverse—aud the other Irish Comedies in his l eper oire • Fun on the Bristol.’ • Handy Andy,’ ‘ Shin Fane,’ and ‘ The Shadows of a Great Ci'y ’ are sterling plays never before witnessed in our part of the world. Nor does Mr Riggs come alone, for ho has his own specially selected company of ten artists, all from the principal Australian Theatres, nucleithe direction of Messrs Duuhor and Berkeley. The very names included in the Company to support Mr Riggs carry the trade mark of dramatic excellence, and during their two nights’ season in Aratapu, Janu :ry 27:h and 28th, we expect to see the Hall taxed to its utmost capacity. Mr Foster, their representative, is busy making complete arrangements for their river tnp.
