As a pantomime with a plot, the show is pervaded by the spit it of “Mae Crean—Mae Crean at her best. Mae Crean clothed in glorious jumpers and t'ghts, and graced by a romantic attachment to an Emperor's daughter M ie Crean in the sweetest '»f singing voices, and with the in st winsome of personality s. Citizens at large in old Pekin ate capital in more than one item, and a chorous of 18 bare-legged charmers, who gladden the opening of the second act. The second act opening scene is a chaste setting in blue and white injwillow plate design, as refined in taste as the close of the first act which is a tricky transformation of Aladdin's cave, into a dream of putely parisian prettiness.

Certainly Dan’s dame is a facTy acted Wid 'W'f distinction. Besides Dan dances quaintly and his patter lines, superior among patter of the kind are witty. G.

On the whole the show is the best of its ki.id that this part of the country has seen for many a year.Box Office arrangements are advertised.
