THE OPERA.
The Pollards have every reason to be satisfied with the support that the Duiiedin public are according to " The Geisha.' Long before the curtain was raised on Saturday''evening there was no standing room in the circle and stalls. Trie circle audience was specially noticeable both on account of its size and the brilliancy of its appearance, making one think <!:"!• there v.-a* a special performance under some distinguished patronage. As might have been expected, iha opera went without a hitch, all the principal numbers and some of the choruses being encored. The feature of the perfmmanee was the singing by Mr William Paull of 'The absent-minded beggar.' It is doubtful if this patriotic song has been heard to better advantage than it was at the Princess's Theatre on Saturday evening. Mr PauK's linn rendering of ine music, (ho heartv way in which the chorus was taken up, and the news of Kimberlcy behind it all brought the silvvr jingling en to (lie stage at a rap'd rate. Sir Fatill was o'icorcd three times, arid introduced two topical verses of his own competition. The total amount realised was close on £ll. The same piece will be repeated this evening, and during the first act Miss Jennie Opie will, ov special request, introduce the song ' Because I love you.'
