PHYLLIS PERRIER.

We have much pleasure in announcing that Phyllis Perrier, the famous, child mimic, is about to make a tour of the Waikato district. We have glanced through the press notices clipped from the le'.cling journals in Australia and New Zealand since the young" lady's first appearance —they would take weeks to read,—and one and all agree that the young lady is without doubt the.wonder of the ace. Phyllis Perrier is only ten years old, and yet she provides the most delightful entertainment, and has been drawing crowded houses throughout the colony. She imitates all the great actors and actresses of the day—Bland Holt, Moggie Moore, Charlie Coehill aud others—and her facsimile of Frank Lincoln's Well-known and famous feat of making a phantom cocktail i 3 simply marvellous. The young lady's imitation of Blaud Holt as Jim Palfrey in "In Sight of St. Paul's," is specially sanctioned by him. The invitation of the " Scarecrow Dance," for the performance of which Johnny Coleman of the celebrated "Matsa" company gets £6O a week, is wonderful, and Mr Coleman himself pronounces it " perfect." Little Phyllis is assisted by her father, who as a musical expert for producing harmony from the widest range of articles stands unrivalled this side of the line. Handbells, empty bottles, silver - tubes, cigar boxes, broom handles, bars of soap come all alike to him, he can knock music out of anything. Miss Helene Laugham (Mrs Perrier) a'so accompanies the mimic. Those who patronise the show can rely on witnessing a novel aud pleasing entertainment. The Company appears at Ngaruawahia this evening, Ohaupo on Piiday, Te Awamutu on Saturday, Otorohanga on Monday, Cambudge oa Tuesday, and at Hamilton on Wednesday, March 30th.
