Williamson’s gigantic pantomime “Aladdin,” which is to be staged here at the Opera House on Saturday and Monday nights next and on Monday afternoon, are Abanazar’s haunt, a market square in old Pekin, the widow Twankey’s humorous kitchen scene, ihc mountain pass, the magic cave, the Emperor’s garden, a street in old Pekin, Aladdin's palace, the floating princess, Abanazar’s bowl, the Oriental palace, and the grand finale palace scene. The phenomenal success achiexcd by “Aladdin” is due to a great extent to the splendid team work of the singers, comedians, dancers and specialty artists and to the artistry of the Great Levante, who in the role of the wicked magician, Abanazar, presents some magical tricks which have never previously been seen in New Zealand. The leading comedian. Mr Ed. Edwards, is one of London’s, foremost pantomimists. Miss Doris Whimp has achieved her best successes in pantomime. The box plans will be opened at Messrs Steel and Bull’s shop on Thursday morning next at 9 o’clock.
