THE DARRELL SEASON.
As already announced & George Darrell will commence a dramatic season at the Princess Theatre next Tuesday (iVTiniversary) night. Mr Darrell has been bo well cad favourably kaoivn to Dunedin playgoers ior many years past that his farewell season is Jikely to be a most lucrative one. The opeiiiug piece, " The Queen of Coolgardie," has been »pokeo well of by the Australian press and by cur contemporaries in the North Island. Tile drama, which dea's
with the Melbourne Isad boom and its cullapse, if not founded ou any actual facCs, is at all events & truthful rell;x of what one might expect to have taktu pUets iv that city some few years ago. The scenery has been specially painted for this production by Messrs Grist, Little, and Campbell, and was originally takea from photographs of Victoria and Western Australia. Popular piiot;H are to he charged, and already the box plan is rapidiy tilling.
— The first article made of aluminium was a baby's rattle intended for tbe infant Prince Imperial of France, in 135 G. Its lightness, brightness, and riog fitted ifc admirably for Bitch n purpose; but only a prince couid afford such a rattle in those days. Since thai; time this interesting metal has descended frouL fashionable articles of jewellery, imperial et-gles, sworcl handles, and military buttons dovm to aluminium surgical instruments, horae3hoes, racing yachts, golf clubs, and cooking uteasiiß, which last adaptation bids fair in a short time to overshadow all the rest.
