BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.

Masterton theatre-goers should demonstrate their appreciation on Friday niyht 2iext in the enterprise of J C. Williamson, Ltd., in bringing to this

town two such world famous comedians as Messrs Adams and Waters, and the production for the lirs'. time ia thia town. of the phenomenally successful comedy "Business Before Pleasure. , ' This production will introduce to local playgoers our old friends Abe J'utash and Mawruss Perlmutter, -who have entered the film industry . They are .still the extraordinary and quarrelsome pan they ■were in the earlier farce ''J'otasL and Perlniutter. " Their talk is sknpiy endless, and they never uu any point under heaven. Both are, Lowever, inosi lovable men. They eommii many absurdities, and are, in. short, an absurd pair of people alto.uothei . And yet, although you laugh at them, you quickly feel a real afieetion for both. The partners are shown as having left their "cloak and suit- , ' business of the earlier play for the production of moving pictures. Their ignorance of the new line of business is remarkable, and, although they gain knowledge an A experience by paying heavily, they decide in the end to go back to the manufacture of elotliiiiii. In their lirst uio\ ing picture, shown soon after the play begins, they have made the mistake of uiving the leading parts to members of the Potash, family who know nothing about the work, but consider themselves heaven-bori! actresses. The two principals will be supported by what is

claimed to he one of the strongest companies ever sent to this town by .'. O. Williamson, Ltd. The br>x ji'lau vr'o] op >i' it the Bristol on Wednesday -:",iri n_, ni'\z
