Those "ho witnessed hint year'ii phenomenally successful initial ventures will not be disappointed in the new show for the Mudonits have the experience of last, year to assist. I hem. The programme again consists of ballets, ehoruses, burlesque, and political satire —all the ingredients Vv\’iich combined to make hist year's production such a success. The “baby*’ and “hula** ballets are guaranteed to dispel dull care in the .shortest possible time. The singing liius received very special care and only the catchiest melodies of to-day and to-morrow have been included in the bill of faro. Shakespeare ha»s again proved a happy hunting ground for the barbs of burlesque and gentleman’s dark tragedy “Alacßetli” has been improved upon.
