GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The last production of "Tlie Seven Keys to Baldpate'' will taks place at the Grand Opera House to-tagiit: To=mttrrow niglit and on Moiidayi Tuesday, and Wednesday next the company will stage for tlie Drat time here the^ latest and most popular American falcical comedy success) "A Pair of Sixes." A brief outline of the plot would probably* be appreciated. Nettleton arid 'Johns, each of whom have a 50 per cent."interest in the Eureka PiU> are partners who call't agree. The formula of the pill is Nettleton's; the beautiful purple colouring of the sugar coating waa evolved from the massive mind of Johns; Each partner is never tired of rapping into th^ oijier his vkw that the success of 'tlie pill Is entirely due to ingredients or to colouring--ac the .case may :be—arid this basis -of issue'is the cause of them losing aft order which was destined to pill all North-west America. This generates tha quarrel, which results in a desire to dissolve partnership. Thoir lawyer, VahderbiH, pointa out that to 'dissolve partnership one partner must be willing to be bought out. This iB a condition on which Nettleton and Johns are wrecked. Vanderbilt next suggests that the duo should decide, who is to be the retiring member by playing a game of poker, and ■by "chipping" his clients upon their cowsirdice, he succeeds in-obtaining their agreement, the Joser to act as servant to the winner for the space ,of a, year. This leads-to a variety of complicated situations full ofi humour. Only four performances of "A Pair of Sixes" can bo given. Plans are at the/Bristol.
