“THE SQUAW MAN."

Mr E. Milton Royle’s four act comedy drama, “The Squaw Man,” will be produced in Auckland at His Majesty’s theatre on Monday evening nex., lor the first time. This is Mr J. C. Williamson's latest attraction, and it has been produced -o crowded houses in Sydney and Melbourne and throughout the Sou h of this colony. As an emotional revelation of life in distinct and stirring phrases, “The Squaw Man” is said to mark an era in modern play construction. A set oi intense human probabili.ies distinguish the story, the incidents of which are welded into a dramatic episode. The opening scene is laid in England, and the succeeding ones in the Western States of America. Typical scenes of American life are promised in this realistic drama, and to help the presentation a number of real cowboys and several talented artists have been imported. The occasion will be notable in introducing to Auckland audiences Mr J. C. Williamson’s new dramatic company, headed by Mr Charles Waldron, whose fine personality and talent have already won for him a “star” position on the stage; and Miss Ola Humphrey, a gifted leading lady, whose work has made for her a widely known and enviable reputation. Included in the company are a number of Australian favourites, in addition to the contingent of artists whom Mr Williamson specially selected in England and America. The scenic investiture of “The Squaw Man” reaches the high water mark of excellence which has always characterised the firm’s productions, while no detail has been neglected that might add to the artistic verity of the

representation. “The Squaw Man” will be followed by “The Virginian,” “Under Two Flags,” and “The Christian.”
