McKAY’S NEW GAIETIES. Tomorrow night at the Masterton Opera House, Mr Stanley McKay is to present his New Gaieties Co. of international comedians, singers, dancers and acrobats in the sparkling revue, “Life Begins at 8.” Those who have been following the career of this popular company will have noted in the Press of Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin the success it has achieved since its arrival from Australia at Christmas time.

No one should fail to see this wonderful balancer who has appeared before the late King George, Queen Mary and the present King and Queen. Laughter is provided by Stan Foley and Alec. McKinnon, who are introducing the very latest in comedy sketches. Other excellent performers are Nellie Kolle, famous male impersonator; . Stella Lamond, talented personality girl; San Remos Bros., continental hand balancers; Gerry Keogh, Irish acrobatic dancer; Scotty and Dolly, pre-, mier Australian, dancing duo; Snowy Towers, mimic' of screen stars; Assam, Pekoe, Souchon and Congo, crazy acrobatic clowns; and Stella Collier, soprano.
