The Majeroni Dramatic Season.

, The Majeronis terminate a successfnl I season at Napier this evening, and open at the Opera House in this city on Monday in "Fedora.'' Speaking of the performances of Signor and Bignoia Maieroni in this drama, the Napier Telegraph' of Wednesday last says :— " Signora Majeroniwaa seen to the greatest advantage as Fedora, and highly though we have already spoken of her, her last night's representation far surpassed her previous efforts'. We saw a woman imperious, commanding, yet loving with all a woman's power, while hating as only a woman could hate. For the purpdse of her vengeance, at one moment sho made love to Ipanoff," and ajC fclje next turns from him, with her eyes looking loye in his she draws fromhim the confession, 'I killed Vladimir ;' and then, simply by a change in her voice, she turns to hate in a moment, and utters the- wor/is, 'miserable, wretchod, assassin,' Ab shg leapijs 'of yiadimir's perfidy, and lore triumpba finco more, she depicts the fear for Ipanoff's safety, and is prepared for any sacrifice to save him— even her reputation. Tho changes in her moods were presented without any 1 effort, and the woman we should have despisod we are compelled to admire. Signor Majeroni, as Ipanoff, told the story of his rival's perfidy quietly, the hands nervously twitching, the sentences spoken in a disjointed manner, while the voice w^s broken j but it was in the last act that he made his grandest effort. Tho news of his mother's and brother's deaths crush him to the ground. His passion is overpowering, and findc no vent except in the declaration that he will find the woman and kill her who was at the bottom of the trouble. His face, wh#a he fcarns that woman was Fedora, was a study : and maddened by grief, ho would have killed hor. Every detail of the barprowing story was complete in the representations by Bignor and Signora Majeroni.
