FRANK THORNTON'S SEASON.

Frank Thornton, one of the funniest and most legitimate comediana seen on the Australian stage for many years past, and who has al ways been a very popular player with Ashburton audiences, will make a welcome re-appearance next Thursday night at the Oddfellows' Hall. Many people prognosticated that after the departure of the Brough Company there would be no comedy m the land, but Mr Thornton baa proved by phenomenally successful seasons of six months m the two established houses of comedy m Sydney and Melbourne that the curtain is not yet rung down on this particular branch of theatrical enterprise, and those who appreciate a good play well played are still most adequately catered for by Mr Frank Thornton, who long ago learned the secret of successful management, and who possesses a magnet m his own popular personality, which there is no withstanding. On Thursday night next he will introduce for the first time to an Ash burton audience "The StraDge Adventureß of Miss Brown," an excruciatingly funny farce comedy, which has been highly hucces-ful m England and America, and which scored such a brilliant series of triumphs during Mr Thornton's tour of Australia. In Australia likewise it enjoyed phenomenally successful runs, and has proved tbe best paying play since that veritable gold mine "Charity's Aunt" was fir&t produced there m 18S3. Everybody will be delighted to welcome back Mr Thornton to Ashburton, for since the popular actor manager made his first big hit here many years ago m "The Private Secretary, his visits have always been looked forward to with keen anucipations of a good time for those who e_j->y a hearty good laugb. ihe box p'anß are now on view _t Mr Jones a shop, and early application is suggested.
