WILLIAMSON'S VAUDEVILLE.

Direct from the J. C. Williamson theatres in Sydney and Melbourne, and presented by New Zealand Entertainers, Ltd., another brilliant company of international vaudeville stars will commence a short season at the Grand Opera House on Friday night. The bill is headed by Niobe, the mermaid, in her world-famed water act.. The world famous cockatoo . act, presented by Madame Harmston, is a unique feature. A stage crowded with gay plumaged birds of every size and colour, who perform an astonishing routine of tricks, makes this act one of the most interesting. Described as "the dare-devil comedian on wheels," Walter Nilsson thrills everybody by his feats at the top of a lofty unicycle. Rupert Hazell, a clever London comedian and his painty partner, Elsie Day, will present a budget of nonsense and harmony. Dainty Dorothy Browne will play classic and jazz on her piano accordeon. The Flemings, two magnificent specimens of muscular manhood, will give an original entertainment called "GraecoRoman Creations in Sculpture." Mile. Odette Delage is a vivacious French Apache violinist, and the1 Welsh Rarebit and his dainty partner, Jones and Raine, fresh from their English and African triumphs, will present up-to-the-minute numbers and jests, while : Francois, the Globe Trotter, gives a remarkable series of equilibristic feats on a giant ball. The box plan opemi at The Bristol on Wednesday morning. > .
