HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Another very successful presentation of " Fedora*' was given at His Majesty's Theatre by the Meynell and Gunn Company last evening. Mr. Hareourt Beatiy and Miss Madge Mcintosh again scored a triumph in their respective- roles, and the entire performance was received with great enthusiasm. "Fedora/' will be presented for the last time this evening. To-morrow evening Messrs. Meynell and Gunn will stage, for the first' time in New Zealand, the romantic and historical costume drama, " A Beggar on Horseback," written by Edward Ferris, Mr. Hareourt Beatty will appear an Marley Due de Tourney, and Miss Madge Mcintosh as Lady Mary Dudley. The play affords admirable opportunities for splendid scenic effects and magnificent costuming. One of the most sensational features of the production is a realistic fight on tno staircase of the Duke of Stains' reception hall, wherein Marley defends; himself against a score of Pettridge's soldiers, and secures the escape of the Lady Mary and the conspirators.
