CITY HALL.
With each performauce there are evident signs of improvement in the small company headed by Mr Albert Lucas. On Saturday night, when 1 Queen’s Evidence ’ was given, a very successful performance resulted, several of the characters being really well played. Mr Lucas himself, in the part of Gilbert Medland, was at his best, and scored many points; and Mrs Dunbar, ns bis wife, helped him to a considerable extent. Mr Wilton Power, a greatly-improved actor, was quite equal to the part of the villainous Matthew Thornton; and Mr C. R. Hill, with his boisterous humor in the part of Jonas Isaacs, raised a laugh every time he appeared. Miss Lilian Chester, Miss Nell Ogden, Miss Alice Johns, and Messrs J. Manville, Phillips, Tanner, and Furtado played minor parts satisfactorily. The Albert Lucas Company gave an entertainment well worth patronising. On Saturday there was a good house, and before the drama started Mr Lucas give an elocutionary treat in the shape of a recitation of ' Sharaus O'Brien.’
