OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT.

“Get Your Man” comes to the Opera House to-night and to-morrow night. Flashing eyes—bewitching eyes—tousled hair —who could resist? and Buddy Rogers a young Frenchman in Paris was no exception despite the fact that he was to be married in a few days. When the girl in the case heard the facts, she decided to take a hand and get her man. You will be surprised and thrilled at the way in which Buddy Rogers is won in ' “Get Your Man.”

F. Savage, will be pleased to hear that they will have an opportunity on Tuesday, October 8,

of hearing another of this tuneful writer’s operas, in the concert versions of ‘Tom Jones,’ which is based on Fielding’s famous novel of the name. This is to be rendered by members and friends of St. Paul’s Methodist Choir, under the leadership of Mr T. F. Savage. The concert party consists of more than 50 performers (vocal and orchestra), who should do justice to this very melodious opera. The score has some very beautiful love songs, duets and trios, and several jovial songs and choruses. The individual performers are Miss I. Kitchingham (who will be remembered for her remarkable singing in ‘Merrie England’), Mrs C. G. Moss, Mrs H. T. N. Smith, Mrs G. E. Brown, and Messrs Bringezu and Nelson. Miss L. Higgins, L.A.8., L.T.C.L., is at the piano. The performance is to take place at the Town Hall. There will be a prior performance at the Miners’ Hall, Runanga on Monday night the 7th inst. Apart from these two performances, there is.no possibility of a repeat performance, as the orchestral scores are required by a north island choir. People who are anxious to hear the opera must therefore not miss this only opportunity. Tickets are procurable (for Greymouth performance) at the Misses White’s, Tainui Street.
