AMATEUR PRODUCTION. “LES CLOCHES "DE CORNEVILLE” FINAL PRESENTATION TO-NIGHT To-night will see the final production of Robert Planquetto’s delightful old comic opera, “Les Cloches de Cnrnevillc.” The Palmerston North Amateur Operatic Society was wise in the, choice of this year’s work, and nightly since Tuesday large audiences _ have witnessed clever acting and singing by the principals and effective work by the chorus and bullet; members, which reflect groat credit on the producer, Airs F. Mulme, and musical director, Air A. J. Graham. “Les Cloches de Corncvillo” (“Tho Bells ol Normandy”) is full of tuneful musical numbers, bright dialogue , and interesting business. Tho orchestra is particularly effective and constitutes greatly to the success of a production which delighted and enthralled Paris way hack in 1577 and which had a record run when first produced in very critical London. The filial production should he an interesting one—principals and ensemble are now very much at home in their parts. PARAMOUNT.
