AMUSEMENTS.

THE SCAELET TEOUBADOTJRS. The weather conditions last" evening were anything but tempting to leave home and sit out a concert programme in the theatre. The Scarlet Troubadours have established themselves as such capable artiste amongst the theatre-going public that, notwithstanding the cold and wet, they attracted a large audience to His Majesly'6 Theatre. The new programme is a good one, and shows the Troubadours ait their best. Mr Ford Waltham King ' Trooper Johnny Ludlow,' and for his efficient singing had to respond to a unanimous encore, when he gave the old favorite 'A Merry Monk Am I.' The quartet ' Leonora,' arranged by Mr E. Branscombe, was delightfully sung, and ' Peter Piper' was given as an encore. Mr Cunningham's contributions were ' Beloved, it is Morn' and ' Oft in the Stilly Night.' These two items were given in this gentleman's best form, and he had to submit to encores. Mr Warwick, who was suffering from a severe cold, gave a humorous song and also some "musical atrocities" on the piano of a well-known air, as played by certain would-be musicians. Miss Winii'rid Birch ('The Honey Pot') and Miss Rita Fitzgerald ('Three Green 80-nnete') also greatly pleased the audience with their pleasant Kinging. Mr Claude Lepiafitrier's studies in black-and-white are executed with lightning rapidity. His view of .Lake Wakatipu is quickly changed into a vessel entering Sydney Heads. Sir Joseph Ward's portrait was easily recognisable. ;inl :i:)!)iiuv clever piece of work was the drawing in colored crayons of Pelorus I Jack goiivj; out to meet a veesel. The . second pan oi the programme represented ! a nriutical uceiui, wherein aL! the. members ] <if the company lend a hand in singing ; songs, thurusas, etc. Those who take a ; delight in heaving good music (should not j mif.s t.he Troubadours before their short sea-son ehwes. The uiimc programme will , lie repeated to-night.
