MARIE BURKE IN "FRASQUITA."
10-morrow night at the Grand Opera House the J. C. Williamson, Ltd.-, management will present Miss 'Mario Burke Mr. R. Barrett-Lennavd, Mr. Cecil Kellaway, Mr. Herbert Browne, Miss Thelma Burness, Miss Marie Eaton, Mr. Noel Dainton, Mr. Frank Hawthorne, and a brilliant supporting company of over SO artists, in the first production here of Franz Lehar's beautiful comic opera, "Frasquita." This brilliant composer made his name famous the world over by his glorious melodies 'in ."The .Merry Widow." Miss Burkes duets with Herbert Browne are, it is said, alone worth listening to, and they aroused tremendous enthusiasm in Christchurch and Dunedin. Those two brilliant comedians, Mr. R. Barrett-Lennard and Cecil Kellaway, have greatly assisted in making "Frasquita" the success it is proving. There are numerous delightful musical' numbers in "Frasquita," of which the following are probably the most popular: "You Will Love Me, No Doubt" iThelma Burness and Herbert Browne), "Thieves, Thieves," and "Tell Me What Loving Is" (Marie Burke), "Somewhere' in Smokeland" (Marie Burke.and chorus), "Valse Espagnel" (Marie Burke, Marie Eaton, and chorus), "Maiden, Maiden, if You want a Man". (R. Barrett-Lennard, Thelma Burness, and Cecil Kellaway). Seats in central positions may be selected at .The Bristol. * ■
