FRANCIS AND CLINTON. Combining apparently impossible feats of equilibrium and acrobatics with elea'ii and clever comedy work, there is no more popuar turn throughout the Fuller circuit m Australia and NewZealand than that presented by those extraordinary artists, Francis and Clin ton. Almost incredible stunts are accomplished with an ease, dexterity and sang froid which evoke enthusiastic receptions everywhere the turn is pre seated, while their original comely causes continuous laughter. Heacl-iin ers such as these are rarely seen on tiie West Coast and Coasters are in for something unusual this week. When visiting Christchurch recently, Mr A. Beban saw the turn of Francis and Clinton at Fuller’s Opera House, and he was so impressed by its worth that he immediately suggested a West Coast

engagement. Prior engagements in tne South, including Dunedin, made a postponement necessary, but this clever couple will arrive from Christchurch by to-morrow's express, and will open at tb.e Miner’s Hall, liunnnga, to-mor-row evening. The turn will be staged at Greymouth Opera House on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, of!'.’.'!' Coast dates being announced later. It is quite certain that Francis and Clinton will repeat the great success achieved by them everywhere. Their like is not met with frequently, and tliei' - cleverness places them out of the ordinary class.
