THE NIGHT OF THE PARTY

Messrs Rupert Clarke and Clyde Meynell will introduce to Hawera playgoers on Thursday next, May 12, Mr George Willoughby's new English Farcical Comedy Company, who will stage the very latest and greatest of English comedies, entitled "The Night of the Party." David Jones, the leading comedian of the Willoughby Company, will aj>pear in the role of Crosbie. The valet Crosbio is the servant of Mr Frayne (a wealthy merchant), and gives a party during the absence of his master, to Which he invites all the servants of the hoiiso and many from the adjoining mansions. The festivities are at their height when Mr Frayne returns. The complications that ensue are exceedingly amusing, for Mr Crosbie is masquerading as his master, and the 'atter's attitude towards tho servants, who are having a rollicking time, results in a most laughable denouement. "The Night of the Party" must be an exceedingly .humorous play to have attained the run of ten years it has achieved in England. It is written by Mr Weedon Grossmith, and a comedian of his experience knows what the public want. The box plan is on view at Cole and Donnelly's.
