PRINCESS’S THEATRE

'Sweet Nell of Old Drury’ was repeated for the fifth time by Mr Musgrove’s company at the Princess’s Theatre last evening. Miss Nellie Stewart’s delineation of the character of Nell Gwynne was full of life and vivacity, and her mimicry and singing were heartily appreciated by the large audience assembled. Mr Beatty as the King and Mr H. Hill as Lord Jeffreys sustained their respective parts with much ability, while the other members of the company lent a helping hand to make the play a success. The last nights of the drama arc announced, and very few’opportunities will be afforded of seeing one of the be<t dressed and mounted pieces ever seen in Dunedin. A matinee performance of i Sweet Nell ol Old Drury* will be given to-morrow/ and should be well supported by parents who wish to take the opportunity of showing their children an absolutely perfect series of pictures at the time of Charles 11. Every dress was made and each article of furniture modelled from pictures of the period, Mr Musgrove insisting on attention being paid to the minutest details. The performance in the afternoon will be the same in every respect as that given in the evenings.
