OPERA HOUSE.
Jiat I'hiliips's "Whirligigs" revue and vaudeville company is a brilliant troupe of comedians, singers, and dancers, and their new programme this week at the 2»ew Opera House is the best they have vet presented in Christchurch. Sparkling with merriment, from curtain to curtain, and interspersed with lively music and ballet work, the show keeps the audience in constant amusement. As usual, the first act is devoted to varied and novel vaudeville turns reeled off without a moment's delay, and the second half of the programme is given over to a musical comedy revue, "Mixed Methods," in which the assembled talents of the company have every chance to make themselves apparent. Hector St.. Clair is the star comedian on the rrinted programme, but lack lvellaway takes tho lead in gaining laughs. He is a genuine fuu-moker. and his mannerisms and studied voice iufleiions are excellent, his make-up ! .'lever, and his stage agility remarkable. Nat Phillips himself and A 1 Mack are always entertaining. The four together produce some great comedy. Tho first half of the programme consists of many excellent sketches and vaudeville t urns.
