“THE NEW ALADDIN.”
BRIGHT PANTOMIME AT THEATRE ROYAL. With its great variety of specialties and features, the pantomime, “The New Aladdin,” should delight young and old. It is one of the stories which loses nothing by the passage of time, and in the latest presentation of the Williamson management every effort has been made to stage a pantomime in full keeping with the traditions of this class of entertainment. The Dame, to whom all pantomime followers look for much of the • fun of the piece, is Widow Twankey, played by Mr Bruce Green. Many humorous moments are provided by the troubles of Aladdin and his adopted brother, a youth named Wishce (Mr Gus. Bluett). Miss Floie Allen pla3's the part of Aladdin and Miss Roma Phillips makes a dainty Princess. Among scenic effects are the Valley of Darkness, the Magic Cave, the Flying Palace, Tiny Town, the lotus flower ballet, and the palace of Aladdin. “The New Aladdin” will be first presented on May- S, and the season will be limited to 7 nights only. Box plan arrangements will be announced later.
