LAST NIGHT OF "PAUL JONES.'! !'
One of the largest audiences that ,has ;• gabhered wibhin the Opera' House witnessed bho second production of ''Paul Jones" oh j Saturday night," and numbers were compelled to stand throughout the entire per? ;7 formance. The audience were most lavish in bboir applause, and the curtain had to ■■:;■■ be risen at the conclusion of each act).. Miss Nellie Stewart's Yvonne is "a clever... piece of acting, and the part suits her to a nicety.. The "Merman's • Cave" and "Before the Altar" wore perfect gems,' Mr Wallace Brownlow is seen to greab advantage in the partof Paul Jones. A greab deal of singing falls to his lot, and he acquits himself well. Miss Marietta'Nash made a greab hib wibh the humorous solo *' He Looks ab My Sabobs,"■'■.. and the • , accompanying dance ,is given in a moat graceful manner.. Throughout - ; the opera-Messrs George Lauri and Wm. Roaevear kept the audience in a constant state of merriment, their " business " being new and funny.' Their dueb "I'm a Mariner Bold," which contains several clever. local hits, had to be repeated again and again before the audi 1 - enco were satisfied. The evergreen Mr Howard Vernon does nob, appear until the third act, but he has a most congenial.part in Don Trocadero, and while he is on the stage the fun is fasb and furious. , T_«).■;■': clever dancing of the Royal Ballerinas is also entitled to a word. Tprnight " Raul \.,o Jones'_' will be staged for the last timo. " ''Tho Mountebanks " is announced to be staged to-morrqw night.
