VAUDEVILLE DE LUXE

“ GAIETIES OF .1936.” The New Zealand Herald of March 23, in its criticism of the opening revue, of Stanley AfcKay’s “Gaieties of 1936” Vaudeville Company, says: —- “ ‘The Gaieties,’ which combine melody, mirth ami dance, with an occasional excursion into the cla.-siral and more serious, is ably produced entertainment by talented performers. There is not a dull moment in the programme, and scenes ami acts change with remarkable rapidity, while th? scenery and the presentation are above the standard of average vaudeville.” The foregoing will give some idea of | the quality of the entertainment lo be I provided during the season of three I nights and a matinee opening at the | Opera House, Wanganui, on Thursday, • Alay 7, with “Something New.” Com- . edv is featured by Ike Delavale, the j clever English comedian, who has the ■

aid of Joe Kox, Alaggie Buckley and George Corelli in many snappy and laugh-provoking sketches. The principals in several delightful song scenes are Winnie Edgerton, soprano, and Russell Callow, tenor, who are backed up by the Sun Kissed Ballet and Alov Brooke’s orchestra. Specialities that run the, whole gamut of this vaudeville stage include Reno’s performing dogs, the acme of perfection in animal training, the Alexanders, sensational acrobats, Jerry Keogh, step, tap ami ballroom dancer, Elvy Fergerson, solo violinist, and Patricia and Colin, in a thrilling adagio offering. New revues are to be. present»?d on Friday and Saturday, ami a matinee will be rriven on Saturday afternoon. Reserves
