A FARCE COMEDY FOR PAEROA.

" NIGHT OF THE PARTY."

On December 22nd next Mr George Willougbby's English Farcical Comedy

Company will be presented to Paeroa playgoers by Rupert Clarke and Clyde Meynell, when they will stage the famous English farcical comedy, " The Night of the Party." It is bright and full of breezy dialogue, well staged, beautifully mounted, and excellently acted. Melbourne "Table Talk" of March 3rd says :—" The Night of the Party" scored an unequivocal success at the Princess Theatre on Saturday night, when there was a packed house. Oh that party, and the complications for which it was responsible, and that scamp the knight of the party, an impurtable, double-living, plausible rascal, but a laughable rascal. This Crosbie is

an excellent servant to a somewhat gay young bachelor, Frank Frayne, in his

normal capacity—he is Mr Frayne himselt, whenever opportunity serves and

his master is out of the way. . He is ex-

cellent material for comedy, but add to it the indiscreet Lady Hampshire (who will visit Mr Frayne at his rooms, and although she is married resents the fact of Mr Frayne being in love) and Mr Crosbie's select circle of friends from the senatorial world, and Gipsy Vandlier (a decidedly rapid and dashing young woman) and her friends, and one has a theme of immense possibilities which Mr Weedon Crossmith has worked for all they are worth. It is without doubt one of the best farcical

comedies ever staged in Melbourne." It is cleverly written, and will be excellently interpreted on the same elabor-

ate scale in Paeroa as it was in Melbourne. The same farce will be staged at Waihi on December 23rd.
