ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE AA T ANDEIIERS.”

The great range of the accomplishments of the respective members .of ‘The Wanderers” lias earned the company a ready fame in Gisborne, and His Majesty's Theatre was avain well filled last evening on the occasion of their second performance. It would be difficult to’single out any artist more deserving of "praise than another, but that they were all greatly appreciated was tokened by tlie frequent bursts of vociferous applause, and hardly one of the performers was allowed, to retire before being twice encored. The work of Miss Eve-ril Haggle in the comedietta “Uncle’s Advice,” together with Miss Ruby Guest and Air. Leslie Holmes, was remarkably good, and her stage presence was much admired. In her vocal items, “Dear Little Jannny Face” and “Doan ye Cry Ala Honey,” she was quite at home, and her rendition of the songs was deservedly applauded. The mandoline and banjo selections of A hiss Ruby Guest were responsible for much pleasure, whilst Alisses Lilian Irvine and Beatrice Alereer evoked a great deal of enthusiasm over their vocal items. Of the male members of the company too much cannot be said in praise of their efforts. Mr Leith Harvey commanded the whole-hearted appreciation of his audience by his rendering of “Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes,” and earned numerous encores, while Air George AVinstanley, the male soprano, fully established "his popularity. The comedian, Air Leslie Holmes, caused a great deal of hearty laughter, and Air A. J. Black contributed some fine monologue sketches. The choruses' were all well balanced, and the entertainment was altogether highly enjoyable. The company make their last appearance this evening, when they will submit a further entire change of programme. The performance will start at eight sharp, terminating at 10.30. The company leaves for the South at 11 o’clock. Those who have not heard this clever combination sboidd avail themselves of this last opportunity.
