“LOVE LIES.”
WILLIAMSON MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY.
More than the usual amount of interest is being taken by playgoers over the first appearance here at the Opera House to-morrow night of J. C. Williamson’s new English musical comedy company in the London Gaiety Theatre musical comedy triumph “Love Lies” which ran for upward® of 12 months in London, and which has just terminated record seasons m Sdyney, Melbourne and Auckland. Owing to previous bookings elsewhere only one performance can be given in Masterton. Clem Dawe has on farmer occasions proved himself to be one of - the best and most popular comedians who ‘has ever appeared in New Zealand and he will probably be accorded a welcome when he makes his first appearance here in a musical comedy production. He is at his very best in the role of Jerry Walker. One of the most humorous numbers is “Hats off to Edgar Wallace” and in the episode in which he dresses as a golden haired girl in order to avoid the attentions of a iSpanish-Amcricaa lady (Miss Marie Eaton). “Love Lies” does not depend isolely upon its humorous scense for its success as there are an abundance of good musical numbers sung by good singers dur ing its two well-constructed acts. It unfolds a delightful love romance and the ensembles and the ballets arc special features of the production. Another outstanding feature is The brilliant work of a well trained number of Australian igirls who will present “tap dancing” for the first time here. The company includes Betty j Eley, Bobby Gordon, Maurice Cole, all well-known London artists, who will make their first appearance here in “Love Lies,” Marie Eaton, Dan Agar, Paul Plunkett, Mona Barice, Les White, Katherine Stewart, Eric Edgley, 'Compton Coutts and John Wood. A feature of the production is the sensational specialty dance by Mona Zeppel and John Robertson. The full operatic orchestra is under the baton of Gregory Ivanoff. The production is staged under the direction of Eric Edgley. Box plan at Arts and Crafts. ' , ,
