WELLINGTON NOTES.
(By
“Lorgnette.”)
WELLINGTON, January 26
The Wirth Brothers and their huge circus and menagerie will this evening open a most strenuous season, as they advertise to give five matinees. It is stated that this season has outdone all their previous efforts, and the show to be presented is second to none. Some big talk, but it is a fact, for from southern notices it is proclaimed to be the greatest show that has ever visited the Dominion. The J. C. Williamson New Musical Comedy Company open a season at
the Grand Opera House on Wednesday evening with “Yes, Uncle.” It has proved a money-winner wherever produced, and the Wellington season, judging from the booking, is an as? sured one. Other pieces to be produced during the season will be revivals of the ever-popular “High Jinks” and “Going Up.”
The salary list of the J. C. Williamson pantomime, “The Sleeping Beauty,” is the biggest of any pantomime the firm has produced for some years. Directly and indirectly, four hundred and ninety people are concerned in the production.
