"BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE."

The reason for the substitution of "Business Before Pleasure," instead of the Muriel Starr Company, is due to the fact that the J: 0. V/illiamson, Ltd., management entered into definite arrangements with Messrs. Adams and Waters, the famous Hebrew, impersonators, that immediately the war terminated they were to be sent to London to present "Business Before Pleasure" to English audiences, for which a theatre has already been engaged. To effect 1 this the Australian tour has to be curyailed, and, unfortunately, the Wellington season, which commences at the G.rand Opera House-Monday week, 10th, is to be strictly confined to seven nights, during which will also be staged the latest American success, "Friendly Enenv.es." The opening production, "Business Before Pleasure," is said to be irresistible in its humour, and charming for its \ inimitable character portrayals. The author (Montague Glass) has evolved -,v clever comedy, which New York retained for over two years, and which has just terminated a season of 12 weeks iv Sydney. The company to support the piincipals include Maggie Moore, Elsie Manzies, Rosie Parkes, Edmund Shenva, George Edwards, Tal Ordell, Carletoii Stuart, William Lockhart, Roland CV.iiway, David Drayton, Frank Thomas, -Jrank Merton, Mattie Brown, and Heusa M. Adams. The box plans will opi>n /at the Bristol next Thursday morning a 1; 9 o'clock.
