Rollicking Irish Comedy

"His Last Legs" PROBABLY the most popular of all the old-time farce-comedies, "His Last Legs," will be the next presentation at 1YA by the Auckland Comedy Players (under the direction of Mr. J. F. Montague). The comedy will be presented on Tuesday, June, 17, and> the immortal Felix O’Callaghan, of Kilmony Abbey ("some years ago") will be undertaken .by Mr. Montague, who ill be supported by a strong cast, several players new to the icrophone. The -part of ‘"O’Callaghan" could not be in better hands, for Mr. Montague has a brogue of the ‘richest kind-a thing that is absolutely essential to this character. ‘The dialogue abounds in rich Irish wit, and pithy sayings, and the situations are of the most hilarious kind. The play, in fact, is one continuous "shriek," and it is practically certain that many requests will be made for a repetition of it. . Mr, Montague declares that of all the parts he has played in his time this is the one he likes best and the one that he does best. Listeners may look forward to a special treat on the 17th.
