AMUSEMENTS.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE. There was another largo audience at His Majesty s Theatre last evening to witness the nnal performance of ‘ Olivia ’ by Mr Flemming’s company. Mr Flemming’s portrayal of the Wear is a jty to readers of Go.dsmith, and we shah a.ways remember gratefully the very capable representation of Olivia g,vm by Miss Lay—its blend of vivacity and refinement telling most powerfully upon the audience. To-nght there is to be a revival of ‘Dr Wake s Patient,’ which was such a success when performed by- .nr Flemming’s company last year. Miss Beatrice Day whl once again appear in her charming impersonation of Lady Gerania, and Mr Herbert Flemmimr will again be seen ay. the bluff and hearty Devonshire farmer. The story, as will be remembered, deals with the love affairs of Dr Forrester Wake and his patient, Lady Gerama, and a treat is in store for those who attend. FULLERS’. Fullers Entertainers continue to make the Princess Theatre a merry, comfortable place wb_rem to spend a winter’s night. The programme is varied, and arranged to please a variety of tastes. The same entertainment will be provided to-night. ROYAL PICTURES. The Alhambra Theatre, where the Royal Picture Company submit a first-class pictorial enterta nment, is a satisfying place for amuse-ment-seekers. To-morrow night a Lb crouch change of films wil be effected. The Linerick competition resulted as follows: —J. Eiu<* (Russed street) and F. Turner (South Dum edm) equal 1, J. King (Moray place) 2, J. Robertson (Roslyn) 3. THE REV. T. TAIT. Tho citizens of Dunedin will do well to remember the entertainment to be given by the Rev. Thomas Tail, M.A., 8.D., if Christchurch, on Monday next, May li, at eight o'clock. On a former occasion when Mr Tait “entertained” in the Garrison Hall the weather was inclement, and there were many other attractions, yet the hall was crowded. Those who intend being present on the 11th Inst, should make a point of securing tickets early this week. Another opportunity of hearing Mr Tait may not soon present itself, as we understand he is doing as little of this kind of work as he possibly can. POLLARD’S JUVENILE OPERA. The public of Dunedin will have an opportunity of witnessing, at His Majesty’s Theatre on Friday next, May 8, the muacal comedy ‘ The Isle of Bong-Bong.’ The ‘ New Zealand Times, m speaking of the first performance in Wellington, said : “In ‘ The Isle of Bong-Bong ’ Mr Tom Pollard has succeeded in placing before his patrons a charming musical comedy. The large audience were enthusiastic in their reception of a play which is studded with little gems of melody ‘The Isle of Bong-Bong’ is full 0 f quaint and fantastic dances, and feasts the eyes of all who appreciate spectacular effect. The arrangement of the ballets and choruses deserves special praise. The mounting of the comedy is the best yet shown by the company.” The box plan is now open at the Dresden Piano Company, and is filling rapidly. The day sales are at Jacobs’s, the tobacconist. A special grand matinee of * Bong-Bong ’ will be given on Saturday.
