THEATRICAL BUSINESS
PRODUCTIONS FOR DOMINION " ' Business as usual ' is still the slogan of theatrical producers, and we are doing our best to live up to it," said Mr. E. J. Tait, governing director of J. C. Williamson, Limited, who passed through Auckland on the Monterey yesterday. Mr. Tait is on his way to America to select new plays and artists for Australia and New Zealand. Theatrical business in the Dominion had kept up well, added Mr. Tait. There had been some change, but nothing to complain of. It was expected that the Colonel de- Basil Covent Garden Ballet company would pay a return visit to New Zealand in June. Gilbert and Sullivan plays, which Avere last seen in the Dominion in 1937, would be produced again toward tho end of the year by a strong company, headed by Mr. Ivan Menzies.
