"GET A MOVE ON."
OPERA HOUSE TO-MORROW
NIGHT.
To-morrow night will see the initial performance of the musical revue " Get a Move On." Judging by the interest which is being taken in the brightest revuesicaJity ever produced locally, the Opera House will be filled. The jokes are good and the music is bright and mirthful. The stage setting and scenery are exceptionally fine, especially m the third act. This is a cabaret scene, and those responsible for the production have excelled themselves m this particular act. It is safe to say that nothing like it.has been seen in Wanganui before, not even when some of tli© biggest touring companies have visited here. It is a credit to all concerned. All' the scenery was painted in Sydney, and it is quite new to Wanganui audiences. Material help has been given by Mr Gaskin, caretaker of the Opera House; Mr Freeman, tno electrician; and their assistants. A feature of "Get a Move On" will be the lighting effects. As the object is a worthy one, and as the Wanganui Returned Soldiers' Association needs financial assistance, the prices should not prevent, anyone from seeing a performance, the like of which has seldom, if .ever, been equalled in Wanganui,
