CHARLEY’S AUNT.
SUCCESSFUL STAGING.
"Charley’s Aunt" is an evergreen favourite with theatre-goers, and its revival in Waipukurau was quite a popular success. Mr Warren Ward has gathered around hwkmg company of New Zealand and Australian artists whose efforts, generally, contributed to a well-sustained presentation of this amusing story. The dressing was a feature of the production, and left little to be desired, while, with the exception of a few w r eak points in. the armour of "Lord Fancourt Babberly," in a portion of the comedy "introduced," incidental to the dual impersonation, "Charley’s Aunt',’’ and enunciation being somewhat indistinct through conversation being hurried on the part of several of the leading men, the interpretation was worthy of the high traditions of the stage story surrounding the advent of the "Old Lady from Brazil." The lady members of the company played their parts excellently, and the vocal solo numbers interspersed throughout the comedy, were very pleasing. The company would be welcomed back, should a return visit be decided upon. '
