DIVING CHORUS GIRLS.

NOVEL FEATURES IN THE OPERA HOUSE REVUE.

kONDOfr, April 2. Aiter London has witnessed the Venetian swimming scene which is the feature of Act 11. of "ComeOyer Here," the- new revue at ihe London Opera House, to be produced on April. 12, there will be a revolution m the music-hall world. The revue is by Mr Max Pemberton, and its production will cost £18,000. .-■.,'

What the up-to-date chorus girl will need m the future is a, university swimmin|g costume and a neat side stroke.

Imagine the surprise of the audience when the curtain rises on a Venetian setting and a group of amphibian beauties, wearing tights and spangles, begin diving from an island palace far out into the; deep-dug lake — and disappear. Where they #0 is to remain a mystery. The plot of "Come Over Here" centres round an eloping couple. The attempt of the irate father to frustrate them leads to one of the chief features of the revue — a race between a motor-car and a full-sized locomotive.

Beginning with a seashore setting and ending witu a cabaret scene, the piece will be just a two hours' succession . ' of new dances, dresses, and songs. It will soon be London's inevitable fate to be whistling' "Take me m your arms," and all the other new rag-time samples.
