ENGLISH PIERROTS TO-NIGHT. Good music and bright singing are r.l ways welcome in Wanganui, and the above company should b.e assured of an excellent season. A contemporary speaks ot the performance aa follows: —“ The Pierrots are a very bright combination of entertainers, and make things go with viai. and verve, and vigour from start to finish. Tlie emubin* is headed by Mr. Maynard Dakin, who lias a London music hall reputation, is a clever comedian, He spreads himself and his smile all over the programme, to the delight of those iu front. He was heard in solos, in patter, in storytelling, in duets, iu trios, in. quartets—and always to advantage. A somewhat different humorist, hut still a welcome merrymaker is Mr W. P. Turner, who does n few good turns for himself and others. The combine has yet a third comedian in Mr Rob Thomas, who robs no man of anything, but smiles and laughter—items which every human is the hj. tier for distributing. Miss Elsa Langley is as dainty as Ariel, singing and gesturing most; charmingly; and Miss Phyllis Philipson is also good to look upon, and sings her songs sweetly. Mr Kingsley Chapman is a better than good tenor, and Mr Leslie Austin’s baritone voice has a good range and a mellow sound.” The box plan at Jones and Sons’ is now open, where seats may be reserved for the season. PRINCE’S RINK-DRILL HALL. Tlie excellent management in evidence ut the above rink is having its effect on Cm attendances; capital business is done at all sessions. 'The gigantic poster and fancy-dress carnival, which will take place next Thursday evening, the 27th inst., is bciug eagerly looked forward to, and the big floor should be packed on the occasion. Mr Gonard is paying special attention to beginners, who, if they so desire, can arrange for private tuition. Ladies are admitted free, except on Thursdays, and Saturdays. To-night, the rink will be open, and the City Band of 20 instrumentalists, will be present. GARRISON BAND RECITAL.
