POLLARD'S JUVENILES.

"BLUEBELL IN FAIRYLAND."

" Let's be children again ? and sing, and dance, and dream of fairies and Fairyland!" —doubtless that wish, half-formed, crossed the mind of more than one person who witnessed the second performance of " Bluebell in Fairyland" last night. The success which th© company achieved on their opening night was repeated, another crowded house greeting the rise of the curtain. If anything,, the large audience was more enthusiastic than on Tuesday, and demanded the repetition of every dance and every song. The acting was in some respects even better than'on the first night, buj; throughout it was splendid. The winsome Bluebell, the devoted Dickey, the irrepressible Blib and Blob, the elusive Will o' the Wisp, the faithful Peter, the weird-looking frogs—all improved upon further acquaintance, and each did his or her full share in making the performance the success it was. The difficult dances incidental to the piece were again executed with exceeding grace, and the limelight effects added ereatlv to their charm. The catchy songs "Only & Penny," "The Only GirflLove/' " Of Course," "Meow," and Master Bert Nicholson's 'Ackney " hit " —to mention but a few—again proved popular, and the picturesqueness of the setting of the opera was the subject of much favourable comment. To-night will be the last night of the season, when the American musical comedy " His Highness the Bey " will be staged. This piece has been very favourably commented upon, and it is safe to predict another full house.
