THE POLLA RD BENEFIT.
There tvhb a good nudicuco at tho Opera House last ovoniiiß for tlio bunollt */a Mr T. Pollard, whioh will bo worth ovor £100 to , tlio beneficinre. " Tho Masootto " w.w playod i with immonco spirit so far as tho first aot i was conaorned— no livelier produotion of tho aut ban bcou given in Wellington, and it i was noarly doubled in length by rooalls. Tho sooond and third acts wore, how- j over, not played nearly as well as J the othor two, and dragged in plucos. Tho sotting of tho palace soono in tho sooond 5 aot had somothing to do with this, and fell J far short of tho standard whioh Mr. Pollard has himsolf sot np in othor productions. { Miss Sandford, as Uettina, was pa-tioularly successful throughout. The now football song " Crom-a-boo " was introduced by the i variety oompany in tho palaoo soeno o* tho z second aot, and Master Peroy, who was tho c Boloist, was recalled. Tho song and soeno ■ should develop into a good item. o To-night wilt be the last of the season, and o " Olivette," an opera of whioh the company C gave a good performance on its last prodno- b tion here, will be staged, with new scenery o painted by Herr Wennermark. g Por to-night's entertainment at the Ex- B ohange Hall by the People's Popular I Entertainers, a specially good programme ii ' announced.
