"THE WANDERERS."

What gives every promise of being one of the most important amusement enterprises yet introduced to Te Awamutu, will take place at the Town Hall on Wednesday next (31st inst), when we are promised a visit from Mr George Stephenson's new English attraction.

The Wanderers, who number 15 artists, piesent quite a departure from the orthodox entertainments, their programmes being distinctly new, novel and refined. The box plan for the sale of reservedjSeats is now open at Warburton's. Speaking of the Company the " Dominion" ("Wellington) says: Every seat in the Concert Room of the Town Hall was filled last evening with patrons of " The Wanderers," a musical costume company, which opened in Wellington. The large audience was highly appreciative throughout, demanding encores of almost all the performers. There was a note of unconventionality about the entertainment that soon brought artists and audience into happy touch with one another, and, perhaps, the holiday spirit assisted the general effect. An all-round healthy, fun-producing show was submitted. It is a wholesome class of entertainment that grows on a public. Mr Phyllis HopwoodFoldi, a monologue contribi tor of striking presence and happy style, was several times recalled. Mr Leslie Holmes submitted a quantity of" "unmitigated nonsense,'' and the more he submitted the ;nore the audience seemed lo want. Mr Holmes might safely wager that in one or other o- his numerous ways he could make any person in an audience '■-■■ -'l. Other clever art; •"„••'• '.iiss Madge Ferne, Mis?
