BLAND HOLT IN AUCKLAND

SPLENDID SCENIC SPECTACLES. A S was universally anticipated, Mr Bland Holt and his company have opened a season in Auckland which bids fair to beat even his own record. The name of the actor is a talisman in Auckland, or it means capital acting and such scenery as we only read about and long for except when the great Holt

pays one of his always welcome visits. What need to praise the * Sailor’s Knot ’ or its surpassingly lovely setting of exquisite scenes, each more beautiful than the last. The long drawn ‘Ohl’ of delight aud the storms of applause which greeted them, have by this time been echoed far and wide, and have insured full houses for many a long day. All the old favourites were stormily, enthusiastically welcomed by old friends, and all made dozens of new ones. Mrs Holt is as charming as ever, and Mr llo»e as fascinating. As for the great Bland Holt himself he brings down the house as heretofore. The * Sailor’s Knot’ is a beautiful production, and will draw so long as the management like to leave it on.
