OPERA HOUSE.
Last evening a dramatisation of Ouida's famous novel "Under Two Flags' was staged by the Henry Dramatic Company at Abbott's Opera House. The performance was a very creditable one, and the interesting story was pourtrayed in a
way that called forth loud appiause. Miss Billie Howarde made a very attractive Cigarette, and her acting and singing were alike of a-high order of merit. Miss Howarde was frequently rewarded with bursts of applause; and Mr Robert Henry, who took the part of Bertie Cecil, of the First Life Guards, also did exceedingly well. Mr H. N. Douglas took.the part of Colonel Cliateauroy, Miss Laura I_ccne that of Lady Guenevre; Miss Lille Mowbray was Nora McShane, and Mr VV. J. Coulter was very good as Baroni, a Jewish money-lender. The rest of the members of the cast did their work weii. Miss Howarde introduced a good sons and march, 'The Boys that do the Fighting' (arranged by Dan Godfrey) during the course of the play. To-night 'The Factory Girl of Sydney' will be staged.
