Miss Jennie Lee.

Miss Jennie Lee and her dramatic company have closed their Wellington season, and they open at the Theatre Royal here on Monday evening in an adaption of Dickens's Bleak House "Jo." It is such a long whilo since a really good dramatic company has visited Napier that local theatregoers are bound to take advantage of the opportunity now offered, and it is safe to say that Miss Lee and her company will have a successful season. Our Hastings friends have not been forgotten, as special trains have been arranged for. "Jo," a piece that has been associated with the name of Miss Lee so long, will only be played one evening The other pieces which the company propose staging during their short season are familiar to many, and all of these comedies and dramas have had long run wherever produced. "Jack iv the Box" is a new comedy-drama, written by George K. Sims and Clement Scott, a piece that like "Jo," affords Miss Lee plenty of scope for the display of her special talents. " The Grasshopper " is a three-act farcical comedy adapted'by Mr J. P. Burnett from Messrs MeilhacandHalery's "LaCigale." "Run Wild" is described as one of the prettiest of comedies, full of humor, mingled with heartfelt pathos, splendidly mounted, and most carefully played. On Friday night that ever welcome drama '' The Tioket-of-Leave-Man " will be staged.
