THE ROYAL STROLLERS.

The original tour of the Royal Strollers was to have terminated in Gisborne on June 20, but owing to the rearrangement of Sydney dates at the Palace Theatre an extension of three weeks has been arranged in New Zealand, and the following towns will be visited by the Strollers: —Dannevirke, June 22; Feilding, 23 and 24; Marton, 26; Taihape, 27; Te Awamutu, 28; Hamilton, 29 and 30. After a short rest in Rotorua, the company will visit Whangarei on July 4 and 5, and commence a short season in the Concert Chamber Auckland on Friday, July 7, and will leave Wellington for Sydney on July 13. Mr. Scott Colville, who has conducted the New Zealand tour for J. and N. Tait, states that the Strollers have had a phenomenally successful tour, and even in Dunedin had the unique experience of turning people away and that in spite of a strong counter attraction which they unexpectedly had to face. During their tour through the Dominion the St;ollers made a host of friends, both on and off the stage, and they will take away with them many pleasant memories of their stay in this country. The Auckland season must be limited to four nights, and entirely new programmes will be presented, including special numbers which have been prepared for the Sydney season.
