WEBSTER BOOTH AND ANNE ZIEGLER

It is not often that New Zealand is favoured with a visit from artists at the very zenith of their careers, but such is the case with Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler, the favourite British screen and stage singers, Aor both are still young and have the greater part of their busy life in the entertainment world ahead of them. Furthermore, they have already climbed to the topmost pinnacle of public esteem and have scored remarkable triumphs in romantic costar roles in many of England's finest stage and screen musicals. Their latest picture, “The Laughing Lady," a big technicolour production, is due for New Zealand release shortly and this makes the prospect of seeing them in the flesh even more appealing. As a London press critic remarked “they have the secret of singing light and romantic music, particularly love songs from the most popular musical comedies, in an irresistibly attractive way." Their New Zealand programmes contain a large supply of these popular items carefully blended with operatic arias and ballads to completely captivate every type of listener. Packed houses are the order of the <iav wherever Webster Booth and Anne Ziegler appear in England, and local audiences can look forward to something really unique. The box plans for next Tuesday’s recital at the Opera House are now open at the D.I.C.
