HARRY LAUDER.
" Sunday Times," Sydney, says: "Sir Hnrry Lauder, appearing under the direction of J. and N. Tait by arrangement with E. J- Carroll, caused the Palace Theatre to be packed last night with tin enthusiastic audiencs. Age does not wither nor custom stale the (rich and ripe humour of this great comedian—the only man in the modern world who has been knighted while still skipping round the stage with bare legs and a crooked stick." Harry Lauder inaugurates a farewell tour of New Zealand at the Grand Opera Hpuse on Wednesday evening next, supported by a vaudeville company of stars. Lauder will no doubt sing some of the old favourites, but the opening programme will include the following new ones:— "Ohio," " Doughie, the Baker," "Somebody Waiting for Me," " Roaming in the Gloaming," " When I was Twentyone," " New Zealand Girls are Good Enough for Me," etc; The company supporting Harry Lauder includes Phyllis and Giles, in comedy absurdities; La "Venture, in a beautiful luminous fantasy ; Stan Kavanagh, the juggling humorist ; Queenie Fenton, soprano; Daphne Ferguson, Scottish dancer; »nd Tom Payne and Vera Hilbliard, in burlesque episodes. The box plans open on Monday at The Bristol for the season of seven nights and one matinee.,
