COMPANY OF THIRTY
“THE AMAZING MR ROOKLYN” TO AIPIPEAR AT REIGENT “The Amazing Mr Rooklyri” to show the faith in his own dexterity as a manipulator of billiard balls, cards, illusionist, etc., and the knowledge of the love of vaudeville by the New Zealand theatre going public, he arranged to fly the company, of thirty across the Tasman —a very costly move —and to send his forty tons (cubic measurement) of scenery and effects by steamer, and if the Wellington and Christchurch seasons are any criterion, he will not have any regrets at having taken such a bold financial step. Among the supporting vaudeville specialties in the company are Ted James, the real Aussie comedian; Florence Gold, lyric soprano; the Selway Sisters, acrobatic dancers; Joy Clyde, ‘The Electric -Spark”; Alta Lowe, the Musical Stylist; Keogh and Ray in their coloured comical capers; Yola Fontaine, premier danseuse. The 'Paeroa visit is for one night only at the Regent Theatre on Thursday, May 9. Box Plans are at theatre.
