AMUSEMENTS

THE. NORWOODS.

Judging by the interest centred in the return visit of the Norwoods, Marton amusement seekers undoubtedly hail with delight the advent of these popular entertainers, who are billed to open for a two nights’ return season at the Town Hall tomorrow evening (Friday). Professor Norwood uses his own stage equip ment, beautiful draped velvet hang ings and curtains, stage carpets and furnishings, and the various scenes and acts are splendidly dressed with brilliant and expensive wardrobe and effects, to depict the different “hypnotic” representations. A Wei lington exchange, September 15th* 1913, says:.—“The impression the 4 popular/Professor’ made on-his visit last year was one that was a lasting* one, and, needless to say, a very good one, as was proved by the sue cessful season of six nights which has just been concluded at the Opera House. ” We have been told that hearty laughter is Nature’s best medicine, and the Norwoods, being the sole proprietors of the ‘laughing formula, dispense it to their patronsin liberal doses. Some of Miss Wini fred Norwood’s acts were very intri cate and aroused considerable enthu siasm among the large audience. | The musical director, Mr Harry Wilson, a pianist of high repate in America, will dispense the latest American and Continental musical successes during the evening.- A complete change of programme will be presented nightly. The plans for reserved seats for front .stalls and dress circle may be seen at Mogridges’, where seats may be booked 1 without extra fee.
