THE BROKEN MELODY. VAN BIENE'S 'CELLO PLAYING. Last evening: Van Bieuo again delighted hundreds of people in the Opera House by his charming mastery of the 'cello, when tho second production of “The Broken .Melody" gave the renowned musician another opportunity to display his gifts.

As an actor ho showed histrionic ability of a marked type. “Tho Broken Melody" will bo repeated to-night. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. “JUSTICEAT LAST." "Justice at Last," an interesting ploj and one that depends very little on exciting situations, scenic effects, ami stage accessories, was produced at )iis Majesty's Theatre by tho Tay lor-Carring ion Dramatic Company last evening bo for© a large and cnco. The plot runs in a well defined groove—right against wrong with ultimate victory lor the former, and stern justice, for the wrong-door. Nevertheless it is an interesting plot; whilst the comedy, judiciously intermix, ed, never fails to elicit hearty laughter. The Jew, Isaacs, the funny man of the piece, as played by Mr Charlie Taylor was an amusing scoundrel. Miss Ella Carrington at home in the emotional phases of the character of Kate Medland. The villian, Matthew Thornton, was convincingly played by Mr Ward Lyons. The scenic effects were most praiseworthy. "Justice at Lost" will be repeated to night. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS.
