opera house, to-night and TO-MORROW. I “A wonderful little show,” says a i northern contemporary, “encompassing a wealth of very funny comedy and spectacular freshness, piling up on ! lavish yet harmonious settings and ‘beautiful, tasteful costumings. AU I that and more was handed out on a I programme which seemed all too short. I This time Tho Diggers have surpassed ; themselves. ’ ’ There is no doubt about ; it, the innovation of a ballet and ’ chorus has lifted this company away up above its former self. The girls in ! the show were selected for their good i looks as well as their singing and I dancing. In this the management | were wise and their Chorus and Ballet I bid fair to become famous throughout l the Dominion for their beauty, daintiness and vivacity. Prominent among ! the vocalists of the company is Aladel moiscllo Claire Gooley, a delightful young daughter of France, who sings j her songs very charmingly in excellent | English. Claude Bell is a surprising--Ily good baritone who has a fine rc- ! putation which an admiring public have bestowed upon him, Jimmy Nor- • ton, producer, comedian and eccentric dancer brings good cheer with him wherever he goes. Joo A’alli is perhaps one of the most popular comedians who have ever appeared in Hie Dominion. He will be remembered as j the Scottish porter of the sketch. ’“Tickets, Please,” during the last tour. Stan. Lawson, “a charming deceiver,” is still with the company and he has some surprises fo spring on to the public. Gus Dawson is sure to enhance his popularity this time as .he has some original offerings to put i forward. Eily Dalgleish, the cheerful soubrette of the company, lias brought over from Sydney a bunch of the ; very latest novelty song numbers - , and Tano Fama has also something good (to offer. The sketches are “The ' Bride's Trousseau, ” “ The Rest Cure ’ ’ and “The Roof Garden Scene,” and are very funny skits which considerI ably lift the ptogrammo along. Ot course the Diggers Famous Orchestra I is still a feature of the show.
