LAST NIGHT'S FINE SHOW,
Tho big crowd of pleasuro- soekers in the Theatre Royal last might had over two hours of delightful entertainment by the Lee White-Clay Smith London Company in Bran Pic," with
oach dip bringing forth a prize,
Everybody on tho stage xcollod in provoking mirth, or -otherwine onfortaining, the songs, dances, and fun running froely the whole evening, without a pauso excopt at the interval. "The "Peaches" were as pleasing cas over, and the principals their wanand selves, which is raying
verything.
"
In last night's show it was difficult to pick out the most on. joyable feature, as each succeed- ing number set one revising pre- vious conclusions. The two "fast and furious" farcos, "Tasso do Tho" and "Cinderella" (extremely modernised), woro delightful. keeping the audience in a roar of laughter.
Miss Leo White with Mr. Olay Smith at the piano scored anothor big bit; "non-stop smile" and all, and it was hard to realise when the ond had come to "Bran Pio," for thero was not a dull moment up to the last of oightoon itoms.
To-night will ado the Company's famous musical comedy," The Girl for the Boy," and the fare- woll to-morrow will consist of a |"Pot Pourri-" of grand offerings, Į
