The Majeronis at the Opera House.

"JEALOUSY."

The Majoroni dramatic combination produced the drama " Jealousy " at the Opera House last night in the presence of a veiy large audience. The piece was put upon the stage in tho moat porfoct manner, and tho acting was admirable. Although giving scope for acting of a high order, there is a great deal about the play that could never occur in real life, and the presence of bo much of the impossible somewhat detracts trom the interest of the representation. Of the impersonation of Diana by Signora Majcrom, however, we oannofc apeak too highly. The role is one of those in which she has had no superior, if any equal, on the colonial stage. The Signora s magnificent dresses set off her fine ngure, and gave additional oharm to the grace of her acting. Signor Majeroni, as C "!°!., Marquis of St. Etta, gave another exhibition ,of his-greafr histrionic ability, me portraiture was an exceedingly fine one, and evoked the enthusiastic admiration of the audience. Mr. Henry Hoyte played the small part of Count de Riviera well, and Mr Jewett wsumed the role of General de Luca creditably, thongh he was perhaps a little too , mechanical. Mr. Laurence, as Duke Eiario Mrs. Gordon, as the Marchioness, Mr. Musgrave, as Senator Grimaldi, and Miss Jowett as Baroness Emiliani, had little '.to do, but performed their respective parts with care jnd skill, i The oroleatra, under ,Horr Mosoh, enlivened tho interval with "some capital selections, one of the most noticeable being the "White Violets Valse," the production of a Wellington gentleman. To-night Signora Majeroni will take her farewell benefit, and the performance will bo under the patronage and in tho presence' of bis Excellency the Governor. The bill comprises Schiller's great masterpiece, " Mary Stuart," in which Signora Matron! will appear as the unhappy Queen of Scotland (her greatest impersonalon), and the comedietta entitled " A Kiss." Between the two plays, Signor Majeroni will recito in Italian the tf Death of Count Ugolwo. , Ugolino, Count of Piga, died in prison of starvation in 1288, and his story is told by Dante in the " Inferno." Mr. George Fisher, M.H.E., will makoa presentation to the Signor on behalf of the Italian residents in Wellington. The company's Wellington season closes to-night.
