In addition to there “stars” of the vaudeville world, h company wi.l include M'ss Alma Gray, the favourite Australian vocalist and dancer (just returned from England) ; Irving Sayles—the king of all negro comedians ; Leonard Nelson. Miss Lottie Kay, English soprano ; Miss Olive Robinson ; and several other favourite artistes. in addition there will be an entirely new series of biograph pictures, just received from London and .he Continent. Rickards’ vaudeville tour will extend over five weeks and five nights only, during which time Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland will be visited.
