HARRY BURCHER’S CREED.

In “Yes, Uncle,” Mr. Harry B. Burcher has another success to add to his list since he joined J. C. Williamson, Ltd., in the capacity of producer six years ago. A long experience at the Gaiety, London, gave, him an encyclopaedic knowledge of the ins and outs of the producing art, and he has brought it to bear, with distinction during his continuous, association with the Musical Comedy Company, amongst the pieces for which he has acted as deus ex machina being “So Long, Letty,” “Canary Cottage,” - “You’re in. Love,” “To-night’s the Night,” “The Girl in the Train,” “The Girl on the Film,” “Qh, Boy,” “The Three Twins,” “The Only Girl,” “Going Up,” “High Jinks,” together with various reproductions, and “Yes, Uncle,” as his latest achievement. Visionary and. idealistic, one does not connect him at sight with jolly jingles . and fantastic frivols, but the imagery of his mind helps him to give to airy , nothings a standing name and habitation, and with concentration and exactitude of detail as his creed, it is no wonder that “Yes, Uncle,” struck Auckland theatregoers with its pin-point accuracy in setting and dressing and every other aspect. It was certainly a departure .for the light, of day to be shed here first on new frocks, frills and furbelows, and they deservedly came in for warm rhapsody, the observant ones being quick to notice even the small but essential detail that every girl wore silk stockings.
