"A COUNTRY GIRL"
This afternoon at 2 o'clock and this evening at 8 o'clock the .T. C. Williamson New Comic Opera Company will begin a farewell season in Lionel Monckton's picturesque musical comedy " A Country Girl," in which the company has achieved great success, both in Australia and Now Zealand. In the first act the setting is entirely rural with its haystacks and its cottages, its village yokels, and dainty maidens, clad in pin frocks and ruffled aprons and stinbonnets. In tho second act the audience is shown tho interior of the Ministry of Fine Arts, in which period costumes are featured, hoops and panniers, satins and fine laces, powdered wigs and ivory fans. Tho men wear green and scarlet uniforms, and the groups, set against a stately background, present a blaze of colour. Miss Romola Hansen, who will make her reappearance in tho role of Marjorie Joy, originally played by the late Florence Young, will doubtless receive an enthusiastic welcome, as this talented 6oprano became very popular when she appeared here in " The Merry Widow" in January. Next Saturday afternoon and evening and the following two nights " Katinka " will be staged, and will be followed by " The Chocolate Soldier" and " The Merry Widow,."
