EMELIE POLINI.

, 'Miss Emelie Polini, with Mr. Frank Harvey and a brilliant coterie of dramatic players; will inaugurate a season at the Grand Opera House next Friday night in Edward . Knoblock's unusual play, "My Lady's Dress," which delightful piece has proved quite her greatest success, eclipsing even her former, triumphs with" Eyes of Youth" and "De Luxe Annie.'.' The new play is said to, contain sufficient material to satisfy the most, exacting: playgoer, for there is infinite variety in the. impersenations which Emelie Polini portrays. There are no fewer than nine scenes in the three acts, in each .of which Miss Polini plays a different character. Moreover, h«r part is said to be one of the longest ever written, in fact, she is seldom off the stags throughout the performance. In this respect, that sterling actor, Mr. Frank Harvey, has much scopo for displaying his well-known ability in a. series of scenes requiring many different interpretations, all of which he delineates in- a most convincing and accomplished way. Wellington theatre-goers" may look forward confidently to, one of the most interesting and all-round excellent performances the local stage has ever seen. This production will be presented for the first seven nights, and will be followed in quick succession by three other dramatic successes in "The Lie," "French Leave," and "The Flaw." The box plans for "My Lady's Dress" will open at The Bristol next Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
