WILKIE BAUD COMPANY

TO-MOimO\t NIGHT.

To-morrow evening, at His Majesty’s Theatre, at 8 o’clock, Mr Harry G. Musgrove will present the English, singing cimedian, Mr Wilkie Bard, supported by his company, of international vaudeville artists. An unusual amount of interest is centred , in this important theatrical event. This interest has been aroused by the fact that Mr _ Bard ranks as England’s best comedian, and that he scored a phenomenal success in Sydney and Melbourne recently. In both places his seasons had to be considerably extended. Wilkie Bard will be supported by artists from New York and Bond on. The brothers Eclair created a sensation when they first ' appeared in Australia in their drawing-room athletic act. Miss Peggy Peat will be known to those who enjoyed the Tivoli Follies Company in Sydney and Melbourne., Creighton is said to present one of the auaintest and most remarkable acts yet seen on th«r Englishspeaking stage. Pedro and Pedrina is another combination which, it is said, is well worth witnessing. The performance bv Slither is what is termed a one-man musical revue, and proved a revelation to playgoers of Australia, and Monica Daly and Frank Marr will repeat an act in which their names are successfully _ associated in England. To-morrow evening Mr Bnrd will select scenes_ and sketches from his inimitable' repertoire, the most prominent of which are “ I Want to Sing in Opera," “The Night Watchman," "The Boot Shop.” “ The Stage Cleaner,” and “ The Welsh Railway Porter,” and ‘‘On Sentry Go.” He will be assisted by his own company in his famous sotig-scenns. and will also have the support of a specially-selected English vaudeville organisation of 30 English' artists. The box plan will he opened at the Bristol Piano Company this morning. In view of the important nature of the attraction, heavy booking is anticipated.
