"PIRATES OF PENZANCE"
SOME OF THE FROCKS Containing some of the most melodious airs that Sullivan ever composed, and particularly rich in colourful pirate costumes, the "Pirates of Penzance" was presented before a large and enthusiastic audience in His Majesty's Theatre last night. In her first appearance, Miss Helen Langton, as Mabel, wears a graceful frock of white satin with a soft fichu of white net edged with fine white lace. The hem of the skirt is finished with three frills of net, also edged with lace, and small clusters of flowers. With the frock she wears a white crinoline straw hat with a lace brim and a wreath of buttercup flowers and buttercup satin ribbons. In the last scene she wears a nightgown of ivory satin finished with ivory lace ruffles. As Ruth, the pirate maid-of-all-vrork, Miss Evelyn Gardiner wears a colourful pirate costume of red, relieved with white collar, cuffs and •apron, and a pirate's hat.
