CHARLES - WARNER, AND MIS 3 ORACLE WARNER, A revelation in New Zealand Amusement?. WHAT THE WELLINGTON PAPERS SAY: New Zealand Times.— “ The piece selected for the initial performance was ‘Handa Across the Sea,' a drama written by. Mr Henry Pettitt, author of * The World,’ &c., &c., but the latest we have seen of his productions, that which Mr Warner presented last night we think is unquestionably the best. . . As an actor Mr Chas. Warner is entirely different to and entirely better than anything colonial audiences are nsed to. . . Mr Warner appeared to the greatest possible advantage, for his acting, terribly powerful as it was, was yet quiet and natural." HANDS ACROSS THE SEA. CHARIiE S WARN ER. Miss Gbacie Warner. AN UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS. Evening Post.—“ Handa Across the Sea" is undoubtedly the best production from Mr Fettitt’s pen that has yet been brought to the Colony. . , . . Mr Chas, Warner represents a school of actors of whom there have not been many in the colonies. . . Mr Warner displayed his abilities to the fullest extent, playing with an ease and grace that showed the thoroughly accomplished actor. HANDS ACROSS THE SEA, CHARLES”WARNER, Miss Gbacie Warner. , , A GIGANTIC TRIUMPH I Evening Press.—“We can honestly say that ‘ Hands Across the Sea' is a sterling and stirring drama well written—its comedy and its pathos alike meritoriously expressed and portioned oat, and its staging by Mr Warner is faultless. Jack Dudley, the hero of the drama, was, of course, played by Mr Warner, and those who witnessed: his impersonation will have realised what is high art in the dramatic profession. There are some things beyond criticism, and this is one of them. Only genius can accomplish this, and you cannot criticise genius. Mias Grade Warner, young, graoefu l , charming, plays the heroine, Lilian Melford, with an ease, a naturalness, an absence of staginens, yet withal with a quiet force, of, acting, and a subtle reserve of power, whether of fire or pathos, that ber at once au an.actress ofno r*? Indeed, a charming representation of a very trying but telling part, and she at once established, herself as a favourite with her audience.”
