HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.
THE HAWTREY COMEDY COMPANY. /“ A Message Prom Mars ” has had a long and triumphant run by the .Hawtrey Comedy Company at His Majesty’s Theatre, occupying the boards for over a week, and giving place on I uesday night to Ralph Lumley’s farce, “ In the Soup,” which was presented- for the .first time in Auckland. It is a broad farce of the boisterous order, full of wildly extravagant situations and characters. The fun is fast and furious throughout, and keeps the audience in roars of laughter. The final production during the Hawtrey season will be “ Tom, Dick, and Harry,” said to be the test and most laughable comedy yet seen on the New Zealand stage. The play is by Mrs Pacheco, who makes her eccentric characters appear in burlesque situations that are rattled oil with the speed of an express train. The comedy is brilliant and mirthful, and. Mr Hawtrey’s company do it ample justice.
