KING'S THEATRE.

BIG VAUDEVILLE EVENINGConsiderable interest is being evinced by tlio Christchurch public in the appearance in the King’s Theatre next Friday, November 7, of a special vaudeville company of artists of high standing on the variety stages. The company is headed by the famous Japanese artists, Uno and George Togo. Those clever people present an act of juggling, balancing and daring feats such as lias not been seen in these parts. Tho act terminates with tho dazzling “ slide for life,” in which one of the brothers walks along a slender rope which is stretched from the stage over the heads of the .audience to tho dome of tho dress circle. Finally, blindfolded, George Togo astounds all with his thrilling “slide for life.” Louis Alsace, who is recognised as the Wizard of the Violin, offers choice classic gems, excerpts from grand opera, and also introduces musical items on the ’cello and Alsacophone. Doreen Dore, the well-known dancer, has just concluded a successful tour under Fuller’s circuit. These artists depart shortly for America and Europe, and this is their farewell to New Zealand. Wendy Dale and Alphonse are first class performers, whoso forte is harmony singing, smart sketches and neat dancing. The lady member of tho duo appears in some wonderful creations of the modiste’s art. In Lalla Knight the company has a soprano singer of rare charm and brilliancy, whoso vocal numbers will bo appreciated by all. Miss 0. Hana Mi ten is tho accompanist, and the stage set- i tings arc most appropriate and gor- i geous. Tho box plans open at the Bris- j tol on Wednesday next.
