OPERA HOUSE.

" Cinderella."

The pantomime "Cinderella" has had a very successful run at the Opera House, and that fact deserves to be printed m extra large type. Messrs Anderson and Sheridan have presented 1o Wellington audiences a panto.- that bristles m fun, wit, beautiful scenic, effects ballets, marches, and grand assemblages really worthy of Drurv Lane. The second edition of "Cindy" was duly presented on Wednesday, and tfuite a large number of new novelties m the shape of songs, dances, and gags were introduced, whit* tended to make Cinderella more acceptable than of yore. John "Sheridan as the flighty old Baroness has been, only John Sheridan, and it is a peculiar kind of fact that John S. will live forever as the Widdy O'Brien, and his womanisms are, as the Baroness, ever acceptable. John S. is the pantomime, though supported by a stroug and capable company, and this paper says clearly that "Cinderella" isn't worth a "hrown bean" with-

out John S. Anyhow, why further worry about ■" Cindy" as it is to be withdrawn this evening, and "The Earl and the Girl" is to be presented. "The Duke and the Donah," or whatever it is, is funny, bright, sweet, and catchy, and a Me; house ought to result till the end of the season.
