“THE GEISHA”
Their Excellencies to Attend
The season for the Wellington Operatic Society’s production of “The Geisha’ will commence on August 3 at the Grand Opera House, in the presence ol their Excellencies the Governor-Genera' and the Viscountess Galway. The play, which is to be staged with all its- Eastern splendour, is one which lends itself to tiie art of stagecraft, and the colourful scenery and lighting effects are a feature. t The story is written around the “ Pea House of Ten Thousand Joys,” owned and operated by one Wun Hi. .The ballet of the fans is a most beautiful number, with the solo toe dance by Dorothy Parlette. The frocks in this ballet, which are of the kimono type, are of white faced with pink, and look very fascinating in the Japanese settings ol chrysanthemums and cherry blossom. A free children’s matinee is being held on August 3, and each child will receive a memento.
