DIX'S GAIETY COMPANY.
Although the City Hall is the largest place of amusement in the, city, it will soon become too small to holtj the crowds who attend the. performances of Mr P. R. Dixs Company. On Saturday the hall was packed in all parts, many having to be turned away. The programme presented Avas an" excellent one, and tbe new first part, ''With Nansen iv the North," Avas staged in a manner AA'ell Avorthy of any London or Continental music hall. The scenery', wardrobe, limelight effects and slave ballet were in good taste, and reflect credit on all concerned. All the new artistes Avere successful, and the Misses Thornton again met with hearty recalls for their songs and dances. Miss Ida Rosslyn and Mr'J. Kearns Avere as usuaj well received, A neAV artist, Mr Bob Hall, made a most favourable impression Avjth his laughing song, and Mr Frank Yorke, in his best form. Avas responsible for torrents of laughter. Mr Walter Rivers' songs were both encored, as were those of Miss A. Bodin and Mr Johnnj' Collins. A neAv finale to the first part caused a lot of fun, whilse the concluding farce, "The Tele*phograph," dismissed the audience in a highly hilarious mood. The same prog-rarorae will be given this and the xwo. follow-, ing evenings.
