PRINCESS THEATRE.

Kow in the final week o£ their Dunedin season, George Wallace and his clever corapanv are presenting “ Moonbeams ” at the Princess Theatre. ’ Essentially a comedy revue, Moonbeams ” is a jolly medley of song, dance, and delightful whimsicalities, which pursues its laughtermaking way through a number of brilliant settings. At no time is the fun allowed to flag, and, throughout, the performance is interspersed with a number of clever musical numbers. Prominent amongst these are Marshall Crosby’s ballads, and his rendering of “ Captain Mac " is all that could be desired. Mane Nyman and Letty Craydon are also to the fore with several catchy songs which meet with well-deserved success. The bulk of the comedy work, of course, falls on the capable shoulders of George Wallace himself, and this versatile little comedian keeps his audience in a constant roar of laughter. The second half of the programme resolves itself into a vaudeville entertainment, to which the whole company contributes. A feature of both sections ,)f the programme is the dancing of the Six Cuties, who exhibit some dainty and spectacular specialty dances. CHANGING THE CHANGE. Sir Benjamin and Mr John Fuller announce that in future and commencing with the matinee on Saturday, the weekly changes of programme will take place at the two week-end performances at the Princess Theatre, instead of on Monday evenings as has boon, the case for many years past. _ /' Saturday will usher in the well-known Gayle Wycr Band Box Revue Company in a musical production entitled “ The uady Buccaneers.” Full details will appear in these columns to-morrow morning. A noteworhy feature of the incoming revue is the exceptionally large number of principals in the cast. The ballot, too 4 is miles ahead of what is usually seen n vaudeville.
