"FLORODORA."
The weather last night certainly did' not encourage people to quit the warm iircside and face the elements, yet the attendance at the second performance of •lorodora" by the Wellington amateur lheatncal Society at the Grand Opera House was distinctly good, all parts of tho house being well filled. The piece itselt went even better than on the first night, and the audience enjoyed this charming musical comedy to the full \n amateur performance has certain advantages over a professional one in that the zest ot the pU-.yprs is not staled by lone l!BQ and familiarity. The result is an impression of naturalness that is very pleisijiß to the jaded play-goer. The'amateurs are lucky in the possession of some fine- voices, notably that of Mvr. Woodward as Dolores and Mr. Roy Kemp as *nmk Abercord, and with these in solo and duet the old familiar numbers came back with all their old fragrance. "Florotlovn' is justly a favourite wit 1- amateurs and the public and the Wellington Amateur. Theatrical Society is to bo congratulated on its choice of play and the public on its good fortune in hearing and seoin'' once more one of the most popular mus£ cnl comedies of the palmy dava of that form of stage representation. "Florodora" will be repeated to-night and succeedinc nights. b
