KATHLENE MACDONELL SEASON.

There was a large and appreciative audience in the Grand Opera House on Saturday night, when the Kathlene Mac-Donell-Charles Waldron Company produced "Romance" for the last time in Wellington. For this evening only, the company will play "The Rainbow." "The plot (says a Sydney paper) is simple, but problematical, and each character contributes to the happy vein of humour that marks the dialogue..throughout. The story revolves round Neil Summer, a wealthy man of leisure, whose married life after years of happiness came to grief uponthe rocks of misunderstanding. His rather questionable associates do not suit' his high-minded wife, who, with her little daughter Cynthia, chose to live apart. Years later, aftor Cynthia has completed her education, it is arranged that she should visit her father, whom she had not seen since she was a little child. After much manoeuvring, which gives Miss MacDonell ample scope for her fine acting, a reconciliation of j( father :and mother is brought about, after a separation extending over ten years. "The Cinderella Man" will be staged tomorrow night, and the season will con: elude on Wednesday night with the popular production, "Da-ddy Long Lec;s."
