FRANK NEIL'S REVUE

COLOURFUL PRODUCTION ON FRIDAY A very colourful presentation, Frank Neil's Variety Revue, will commence a season at the Theatre Royal on Friday next with matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 'This production, which has met with considerable success in all the principal cities of Australia, is entitled "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue," and is under the direction* of J. C. Williamson, Ltd. It introduces artists of outstanding talent from the leading vaudeville companies of America and Europe. At the head of the list of players is Con Colleano, one of the most capable acrobats of his time. His performance has been a feature of productions in all parts of the world. Another prominent artist is Irene Vermillion, an American acrobatic dancer, who, with her four girl Dart Trumpeters, presents one of the most spectacular acts seen on the stage in New Zealand for some considerable time. The leading comedian in "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue" is Charles Norman, who has scored a number of remarkable successes in musical comedy productions in England. Jack Kellaway and Chic Arnold also appear in comedy roles. On the musical side of the production numerous bright tunes are contributed by the talented American musicians, Sisson and Neale. Adagio dancing of a high standard is supplied by the Aristos, while the Harris sisters present an amazing balancing act. The company come direct from successful seasons in Auckland and Wellington, where the press and public acclaim it. The box plans are now open at the D.I.C.
