Extract f om ' I'ahiatua Pally Herald,' 20th December: " The Taylor Cirrinu'ton Drafmitic Company appealed at the Theatre ag.in last night mid we desire to say right awav that the Company'* work is the cleant jM without exception, we have yet seen gtagedM a professional company either in this to\ any other. In the past we. nave not beg to adveiselv criticise the productions work of profesti inal or amateur and have had, on more than one found it a matter of duty to plain terms entertainments that are in opinion a d sgmce to the theatrioal pro* (easier,ill and an outrage on public morality The Taylor Cinington Company have, however, fhown that it is possible to draw big housr a, to ii< et attention and arouse enthusiasm without stooping to gutter tactics and insulting decent people, it has bien said that the masseß must have " spieed " entertainments. We do not believe this. ThU " spice " alluded to is trrfjueutly nude to do duty for tale it. Lust night's drama proved conclusively that a company pos-"-*ed of true dramatic ability can entertain and "tiisfy all sections of an audience. Kvery cbaritrter was tiui: to J;fts and the big atelience was ilelij'.htt d wi'h the entei'ainment.
