The New Tivoli Theatre will be reopened this evening in order that the seating ac-commodation at the New Tivoli Gardens

shall not be overtaxed, and that those who desire to witness vaudeville in the beau-tiful theatre may be afforded with an op-portunity of so doing.

Next Saturday a novel attraction is pro-mised in the shape of a kissing competi-tion. It is open to all, and valuable prizes are to be awarded. Tango teas'will pro-bably be the next novelty at the Tivoli

Theatre.

As the programme at the New Tivoli Gardens is of such all-round excellence and the weather has heen ideal for outdoor en-tertainment, it is not surprising that the Adelaide Oval sees a large and enthusiastic audience every evening.

The prédominât ing feature will be the musical act of Mr. Ferry Corwey, musical clown. This artist, in addition to being a musician, is a great humorist. All his work is original. He is a musician of unusual ability, who doenot let hi«- comedy effects spoil the musical portion of his fine turn. The other new-comers aro Miss Addie Leigh, soprano and ragtime vocalist, and Mr. J. Vincent, Aus-tralian tenor. Other features of the diver-sified bill will be the Schnigltans, conti-nental juggling equilibrists; Rose and Ellis, the joyous jumping jacks; Bellora, the mimic; Vaude and Verne, comedians; Ibex, shadowgraphist; the Graus Brothers, kings of the Perch; the.

The Dandies.

Mr. Edward Branscorohe's Costume Comedy Comrany, the Dandies, at the Ex-hibition Gardens, still continue to attract large and enthusiastic audiences.

ishop's Carriage." ' Wednesday, night has been set apart for a benefit to the widow of Mr. E. A. Roberts, and tickets are being largelv sold in city and suburbs.
