A THEATRICAL SHIP.
11 ■ I. THREE BIG COMPANIES. •' "I don't think I have ever seen so " many people connected with the stage on •c one ship as there were on the Marama," a said Mr. Seymour Hicks, when he landed s " . from that steamer at Wellington on ][ Monday morning. The list wa-s a rather e-. remarkable one, as '" included the t. members of two Ward-f ul :er companies, I entirely new to New Zealand, and the |.l. C. " Williamson dramatic company, jheaded by Miss Muriel Starr, and Mr. Frank Harvey. i The Ward-Fuller companies, first of jibe combined management's enterprises , t .! to come this way, are "The O'Brien Girl" er! company, which is to open at His "-1 Majesty's Theatre, Wellington, on Friday I evening, and the English comedy comI pany. headed by Miss Ellaline Terris and id i Mr. Seymour Hicks, which will .comi mence a New Zealand tour at Dunedin I ,'on Boxing night. All the ladies were of r one opinion: That it was the jolliest lei trip they had ever experienced—as S- '. smooth as a mill-pond all the way, and I everyone imbued with the gracioushess I'■ of Christmas-time. - i the members of tbe. Seymour | Hick« company are Miss Phyllis Fuller *" (daughter of" Mr. John Fuller), and Stewart (daughter of Mr. >n | Richard Stewart, the well-known Williamson manager!. Miss Fuller made her 1,1 : first appearance on the stage a few l i months ago. and is already playing - | responsible parts. »| =====
