Canton, Bangkok, Calcutta, .Manila,.'and almost every city that this clevor'company have appeared they have met with the same tremendous success. Their initial performance in Australia was accorded the biggest attendance o f all, when on Ahv 10 in Adelaide they played to ovbr 4000 people, which is accepted as the’biggest audience that lias ever witnessed a single theatrical performance. Crowded bouses have been the rule everywhere: an r-itertrinmcni that is almost practically unknown and can capture the record for Australian attendance surely is meritorious ami will undoubtedly be greeted hv crowded houses everywhere,- and a' full house is sure to witness Nicola’s show on Friday.
