MR ALEXANDER WATSON
I The great English entertainer, Mr Alexander Watson, is to begin a brief season at Burns Hall next Thursday evening. The Melbourne Age refers to him as " the incomparable Alexander Watson." His gifts for dramatic and humorous recital are exceptionally fine, and Dunedin residents can confidently look forward to some genuine treats during his season in this city. In Melbourno every one of Mr Watson's 46 performances was crowded. Prior .to coming to Australasia Mr Watson travelled along the western front from Tpres to the Somme front, and entertained "our boys" behind the firing lino; and in Melbourne he gave a series of entertainments to the sick and wounded heroes in the various military hospitals. The programme for . Thursday is a most attractive one, and includes that famous Forum scene from " Julius Caesar" and Mark Twain's "'Punch, Brothers, Punch." The popular entertainer should be greeted by a crowded audience on Thursday evening. Popular prices—viz., 3s, 2s, and le (plus tax) —will 6e charged, \ and seats may be reserved at the Bristol from next Saturday morning..
