While they were being shown the sights of Auckland from the summit of Mount-Eden yesterday afternoon four girls from the ballet of the Cicely Courtneidge Company had their handbags, containing £2B in money and personal belongings, stolen from the car. The girls are Misses G. Mack and D. Spry, of Sydney, and F. Thompson and L. Wilt shire, of Melbourne. Among the articles stolen were the keys of the girls’ hotel rooms, fountain pens, and compacts. One also reported that she had lost her pair of false eyelashes, which she used on the stage.—-(P.A.)
