The • company is composed of export artists who , a rc really revivalists of the World-famous Mo o re and Burges Minstrel entertainment and judging from press reviews they have met with great success, ‘>‘Mr George Sorli” says the Otago Daily Times) is ' the nig man of the company, .and thoroughly established his reputation to be right at the head of burnt cork profession.” Madame Blanche Carelli is a singer, the like of whom is very rarely met with on the vauderville stage, and besides possessing a magnificent lyric soprano voice, she is endowed in no mean degree with an artistic teroperament. These two artists alone are worth hearing, although there are ten other capable contributions to a program mo which the management claim to be charming in refinement and rare in originality.
