THE TAYLOR-CARRINGTON COMPANY.

GOOD ADVICE

"Go to New Zealand! It's the m-eatest health-giving country in the world! I've just been through it, so know what I'm talking about. 1 guess you don't want to quit the J^ast because you are raking m the c oHars t;o fast; but making money should cut no figure when it moans loss o health. People like you, who have been so long in India, Bunnah, Japan and China, get their system chock lull of malaria ? and the swiftest and surest cure for that is the one 1 m giving you —go to New Zealand." Sncn was die advice given in the Hotel do la.Paix, Tientsin, Northern China by burgoonMaior Lefllcr, of the U.S. Army, to Miss Ella Carrington and Mr Charlie Taylor, managers of the laylor-Oar-rington Company. The advice was •icted upon, and not so long afterwards the New Zealand newspapers announced that the Taylor-Camngton Dramatic Company had arrived at Wellington, and was about to commence a three months' tour of the colony. That was a little more than three years ago, and the T.C. Company arc still withus. Came for three months and has remained three years ! \\ onderfnil Since the days of William Hoskins, no other dramatic company has put up such a remarkable record. Another very remarkable thing about this company is that the management share their profits with their patrons by making two very liberal. ■•cotcossioiis to them. Firstly, by admitting ladies at half-price to first and second seats. Secondly, by admitting children, if accompanied by an adult, to any part of the auditorium ior sixpence. Thanks to these concessions. family people can easily afford to patronise the Taylor-Carrington performances en masse, and enjoy good, wholesome plays, beautifully illustrated, realistically staged, appropriately costumed, and thoroughly well acted by a first-class company, headed by Charlie Taylor and Ella Carrington, two of the most talented and versatile artistes that have ever visited Australasia . '' High-grade performances at low-grade prices" is the motto oi the Taylor-Cai'ringtqn management, and by acting up to it they command crowded houses in almost every town on their circuit—a circuit which extends from the Bluff to Whangarei.
