J.C.W. VAUDEVILLE

NOVEL ACTS The welcome news that one of the most notable vaudeville combinations ever brought to the Dominion has been chosen to open a New Zealand tour at His Majesty’s Theatre on Tuesday, July 19, has centred great expectations on the J. C. Williamson Celebrity Vaudeville All-star Company. It represents a brilliant galaxy of stars, from all parts of the world. Ten great acts are represented, and the greatest novelty among them —inded, the greatest novelty of its kind in the world —is Belmont’s Canary Opera, direct from Ziegfeld Follies. This is the

only feathered opera company in existence, and to actually believe that Belmont has trained his littlel songsters to imitate a complete opera, this act must be secrr in its entirety. Dick Henderson, the famous London comedian, has had the honour of two command performances, and is known through the world as “the man who made the Queen laugh.” Rich and Adair the American favourites, will present their wonderful novelty, “The Flower Vendor." and Les. Zenga Freres have a beautiful Parisian dancing act. Valencia is a Spanish daredevil on the flying trapeze, and Marie Lawton is the charming young artiste with tlje harp and the voice. The Leo Sisters, known everywhere as “the aerial girls.” delight and thrill, and Colin Crane, eminent baritone, possesses a voice of a quality rarely heard in vaudeville. Stella Lamonde. the vivacious soubrette, has an act that is just one series of sparkling moments. The prices will be popular ones at 6s. 4s. and 2s. The box plan opens shortly.
