TO-NIGHT AND TO-MORROW

, AVALTER GEORGE REVUE CO

THE "SUNSHINE PLAYERS.'' ,

The "Sunshine Players," who com- 3 mence their season of two nights at the Opera House this evening, under the direction of A rictor Beck, promises to be an entertainment of special merit, inasmuch as they have already given over one thousand performances in Auckland, AVellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin during the past three years, during which time a large number-of entirely new comedies and revues have been produced—the pick of which will be amongst those included in the season here. The opening programme for this evening is entitled "The King of Dun-' nowhereski,'» a spectacular comedy full of harmless fun and hilarity, raagnifi- i cent scenery, gorgeous costumes, superb ballets, brilliant lighting effects, pro-! duced under the personal supervision of Walter George—whose vast experi-J ence gives him the opportunity of producing the very best entertainment possible. Elements in giving the "Sun-i shine Players" programmes their char-' acteristio brightness are the excellent dressing and stage mountings, and that desirable quality in the management which keeps the events moving so that there is no relaxation into anything approaching dullness from beginning to end. Kennedy Allan is one of the best comedians who has ever visited > New Zealand; his versatility is remark-! able. He was associated with the re- \ cent visit of the Ada Reeves Comedy; Company, and previously with operas j and revues. Frank Moran providers' much hilarity, which is added' to by | his immense height—being over six feet, j An efficient orchestra completes a bill of fare which should make a wide and irresistible appeal to all lovers of good musio and comedy: The second production, announced for to-morrow evening, is the charming comedy -' £Sadie,'» the Girl from Arizona, a concentrated mixture of music, frivolity, and laughter. The box plans are now open at Everybody's Sweet Store, where, seats may be reserved for both evenings.
