THE SCARLET TROUBADOURS.
A BRIGHT LITTLE COMPANY
j The high reputation for good sing- ! uig, comedy, burlesque, and laughter which the Scarlet Troubadours have is in every way well merited. ; Although the company is small in numI tiers, and has only the assistance of. an j instrumental trio, each member may ! truly be called an artist in his or her , sphere. The Troubadours at the Opera Mouse last evening were greeted by a ■ ran- audience, the wintry weather probj ably keeping many people away, but right from the rise .of the curtain, till the end of tile programme there was not a dull moment. Encores were ■ numerous, and the performers met with a splendid reception. The high standard shown makes it difficult to make selections from the performers, but Miss Madoline Knight, the possessor of a beautiful voice, was a special rayonte with the audience. Mr JUenn : Miller also enjoyed much popularity ! with his songs. The sketches and burlesques were provocative of much daughter, and the dances were splendidiy performed. The company left a very good impression by its first performance, and this evening, when a i complete change of programme will be j presented, there should be a packed I house.. ' I "THE BING BOYS"ARE HERE." ; "Colossal in every detail," was. the general verdict of Auckland critics of wrVi. ™- llhamson's spectacular revue, Ihe Bing Boys Are Here," which is ;<o be presented at the Opera House :on Monday night next. There is plenty to see, plenty to hear, and plenty to , laugh at. Fifteen principals, two acts, i und eleven scenes crowded with spe^ cialties altogether a programme of ; nearly thirty items, and every one of : them worthy of a place in any of the firm s greatest musical productions. It has been pronounced far and away the : text antV bl' ifl hteSt P^uctiJn 3 the , Williamson firm has ever staged The ■several numbers rendered by Miss Mm! n,l fe' +l and + the brilliant comedy iZv C T txy° T famo«s comedians, Jack Cannot and Leslie Holland are £ s tOr? f th£ feat tuies of the play.
