THE EXCHANGE HALL.

THE CADZOW COMEDY COMPANY. The announcement of a change of programme and some new faces drew a vary larye audience to the Exchange Had on Saturday night, the building being filled in every pait. The new programme went splendidly, laughter and applause being the order of the evening. ■Mr Cadzow contributed Balfe’s serenade ‘Good Night, Beloved,’ for which the popular tenor; received an undeniable recall, his encore number being the well-known song ‘My Pretty Jane,' In both selections Mr Cadzow was at his best, his well-trained and sympathetic voice being heard to the greatest advantage, Mr * Billy ’ Emerson made his first appearance with the company, and met with a most enthusiastic reception. Mr Emerson has the happy knack of fpsedily patting himself on the best of terms with his audience, and on Saturday night the audience seemed as though they could not get enough of him. Time after lime he was recalled, until at U*t he had actually to claim the indulgence of the audiecce owing to the number of other items on the programme. Miss Amy Vaughan was also very successful with her budget of novelties, as also were Misses Wyniard and Travers with a dust entitled * Blue Balls.’ Mr Naylor is a jodeller of great ability, and gave sever'd exhibitions of his skill,, while Miss Gifford ma le a hit with her tambourine dance, although she was evidently handicapped by the smallness of the stage. Mr Harry Cowan, another favourite, was as usual brimful of fun, his make-up in each of his turns being decidedly unique. Madame Cadzow and Sir F, Hardy supplied the instrumental part of the entertainment in a manner which left nothing to be desired. The whole programme is exceeding well arranged, and should draw Urge audiences fo • some time to come.

Mr Cadzow, who certainly deserves great credit for the enterprising way in which ha is catering for Wellington amusement lovers, informs us that he has cabled to Sydney for several other performers, who have not be f ore appeared in New Zealand. Full particulars will be announced in due course.

In consequence of the crush on Saturday night, a box plan will be open to-day at the Exchange Hall from II to 1 and 2 to 5.
