♦ The many who aro certain to be present- at the ahove performance thiseveningatthe Masterton Theatre Royal, will enjoy a genuine treat. Speaking of the company the Christchurch Press says:—There is perhaps no company extant who can giyc us such a brilliant ropresonta- ; tioii of" Caste" as the Frances Ross Company. To those who have 6cen the comedy in London it must have ' recalled the momories of the Bancroft's triumphs in this cleverly written piece, the precursor of our modern society pieces. . . Tho London Homing Post, speaking of Miss Ross, says;-" Miss Ross gavo ; the best interpretation of Esther ' Eccles which we have witnessed. ' She was in sympathy with the ' character from start to finish, and played tho part with a,n, earnest 1 grace and freshness. Miss Marion 1 Medway is well-known throughout c New Zealand and Australia as an ' actress of great ability, and one of herbostcharactersisthe"Marquise," ' in the Caste. Mr Geo. Melville iB 6 one of tho most capable actors in the s colonies, and one has only to see him I in the part of Eccles to realise this. c Mr Haug Philips is the leading I comedy man that Williamson and y Garner brought specially out from, t London. Mr Philips has $ gopd s voice and a fino stage presence, and c is tho dea« ideal of Sam in Caste. v
