"CHU CHIN CHOW."
"A show of a thousand delights"'ha* been attributed to "Chu Chin Chow," and after an uninterrupted run of five years in London, not one of those delights, we are told, has been diminished. It has met with ■ the approval of the woi-ld, and Vow Zeaknders are fortunate to have the opportunity of seeing Oscar Asche's great masterpiece. All the mystery and fascination of the East is registered in the stage settings, the music and the dressing, and the old Arabian Nights story is given ©very ounce of its dramatic amd spectacular value. In beauty, charm, and thrills nothing has ever been staged to equalit. An important • cast ha,s been sent over by J. C. Williamson, Ltd;, to portray the principal characters. "Chu Chin Chow" will be staged at the Grand Opera House for thirteen nights and four matinees, commencing on next Tuesday, 26th inst. The company will leave NaY pier by special train at midnight on Sunday, arriving at Wellington on Monday morning next about 10.30, which ■will give the company two days' complete rest/jiriqr to the initial perform-1 ance in this town. The booking, which opened at the Bristol yesterday, followed in the footsteps of Auckland by putting »ip a. record for the number of seats sold in one ..day. ■ . < • ■
