PLLMMER-DEXNISTON CO. '•A Message from Mars" will ba produced in the Theatre Royal by the Plimmer-Denniston Company Oil Monday night. Speaking in eulogistic terms of the performace, tho Auckland Star says: "Mr Denniston well upheld the traditions ct the character of the messenger. Mr Plimmer took the part of Horace Parker, who in one short evening undergoes tile wonderful change that in reality it takes a lifetime to accomplish, and gave just such a rendering that ono would have expected from such an experienced artist. The boorish nature of Parker is brought out with just surfioiont realily to make the work of tho strange visitor from Mars something -.v-rti: accomplishing, and the change is artistically done. Miss Lizei-it l Pn rites proves what a very clever little lady she is by the manner in which siie plays the part of Horace Parker's fiancee —naturaily and sympathetically."
