THE ADA DELROY COMPANY.
Miss Ada Delroy and her company, who will open at the Theatre Royal on Monday night, are not strangers to Napier, for some years ago they played a successful season here In tlie interval they have travelled tar and entertained aud bewildered many people, in Siam tho company were commanded to appear before the K : ng of that country, and it was a fascinating experience for the pe.i formers and a revelation to the Ki-'g and his courtiers. Since she was last here Miss Deboy has perfected one or two new dance specialties. The one christened " She," after the heroine of Rider Huggard's famous novel, is described by contemporaries as a sensational terp-ichorean triumph. It is quite-an original dance, and is claimed to be the most awe-inspiring and sensational one ever attempted on any stage. While Miss Delroy ia the particular star of the compart y, the other members are strong in their several departments. Tho mystifying White Mahatma whde in the " sr-m----nomistic" stato gives an accurate answer and then correctly sta'es the question whish any person tn the audience thought of. The White Mahatma disclaims the possession of any occult or supernatural power; still, her performance is weird, bewildering, and intensely interesting
