ROYAL COMIC OPERA COM PANY.
At the Opera House last night Williamson, Garner, and Mnsgrove's Comic Opera Company scored another triumph with that beautiful and well-known work of the immortal Gilbert and Sullivan—"Patience." Perhaps .Mr Vernon is seen to best advantage in this piece, in his care fully thought-out character of Bunthorne. His duet with Miss Alice Barnett, as Lady Jane, was encored three times, and the audience only refrained from again encoring it out of respect for the performers' lungs. The scenery by Gordon is the finest specimen of that gentleman's artistic ability we have seen, even surpassing that of "The Mikado."
To-night there is to be a change of programme, when " The Pirates of Penzance " will be produced for the first time in Auckland by this company. The audiences are still large and enthusiastic, and doubtless this popular opera will have a good " run."
