“IRENE.”

LATEST, MUSICAL COMEDY,

The many song hits in ‘‘lrene” have quite a lot to do with the startling success this musical comedy has achieved, and oil Wednesday next ■J. and N. Tait will present their company at His Majesty’s Theatre in what is perhaps the most successful musical play since the “Belle of New York.” It has a record of over 4CO nights in America, 300 nights in l«ndon, and has just finished a remarkably, success- - fid season of 150 nights in Sydney. A big ■ factor has been the wise selection of Miss Dorothy South for the principal role, and . her performance as “Irene” has endeared _ her to the Sydney and dominion public. ’ Mr Robert Jewett “is a manly hero, with a rich baritone voice, while Mr Chester Clute, the diminutive comedian, is a popular - “Madam Lucy”—a made modiste. A special feature of the production is the frooking, while the scenery and orchestra are up to the highest standards of musical , comedy. The songs include a haunting • melody, “Castle of Dreams,” which runs - throughout the production; also “Alice Blue Gown,” “We’s Getting Away With.-• It,” “Skyrocket;” “To Love You,” ‘The . Talk of the Town,” and many delightful choruses. “Irene’ is picturesquely mounted,' well dressed, and brilliantly interpreted by , a capable company. The company is breaking all previous musical comedy records in the north, and the reports from both press and public are most flattering. The Dunedin season is for five nights only (during Carnival Week), and intending - ■ patrons are advised to book their seats on Friday at the Bristol, when the plans for the season of five nights will be opened.

In these days, when the price of petrol . is higher and its efficiency is often of a lower standard than of yore, the problem confronting the motorist is to find a oar which will combine all the attributes of ser- ■ vice with economy of operation. Official reliability trials, conducted under rigid conditions, have demonstrated clearly that ■ Overland Four is the true economy car. having a petrol, consumption so low as to be almost remarkable. In the recent Auck- '■ land trials Overland Four secured first place , i with a record of 33 miles, covered on one - gallon of spirit. An even more astonishing performance was put up at the Queensland Auto Club's contests, where Overland Fours j finished in first, second, and third places, the winning car covering 4-1 2-5 miles on a gallon of petrol. Overland Four also broke ~i the Oarnarvon-to-Perth record, covering. 775 1 miles on a petrol consumption giving 29 miles per gallon. Ask us for further details of Overland Four.—A.
