WELLINGTON WING WHISPERS
By 7. ftoMKn.
June 9. Dear Pasquin, — The Anderson Dramatic Company is- still in. poseession of the boards of the Opera House, and has had to contend with the worst possible kind of- weather .during this week. First it rained, and then it blew; next it friz, and then it snew! Wood and coal were popular items of consumption, and there was no place— like home. Consequently, patrons did not pack the Opera House. The plays already produced this week have been "The Death or Glory Boys" and "Honour Thy Father," and the last new piece of the season, "The Best Wins," goes on to-morrow night, and the season closes on Wednesday next with a repetition of "The Death or Glory Boys-." The following is the rostar of FulkT's Entertainers at His Majesty's Theatre : —The Diamond Duo, Annie Tye, Ward Lear, Ernest Thompson, the Rextons, Pete Miller, Colestine Delwyn, Pearl Akarman, and Will Sylvain. And the roster of Dis's Gaiety Company at the Theatre Royal:— Dante (his last night this evening), Frank Hawthorne, Carden Wilson, the Gaiety Six (in ballet), the Bicknells, Tod Callaway. To-morrow the company is to be joined by the lbsons, Paul Kinko, and Beryl Lytton. Friend Harold Ashton is in town, busily engaged in issuing invitations to leading citizens to attend a reception to be given in our Town Hall to Miss Tittell Brune, the young American actress, who leaves Sydney to-mor-row with the J. C. Williamson Dramatic Company for a tour oi New Zealand, which is to open in our Opera House next Thursday evening. Very great interest is being evinced in Wellington in the coming .season, which should prove as great a success financially as it is assured to be artistically.
The Wellington Lied'ertafel (Mr Robert Parker conductor) gives iU third concert of the season to-night. The Choral Union gives a concert in the Town Hall next Tuesday evening. Chief among the items is Gade's cantata "The Crusaders." The other numbers include the song cycle "In a Persian garden" (by Liza Lehmann) and Eaton Failing's "Song of the Vikings 7' - The solos- will be taken by Misses Amy Murphy (of Dunedin) and Lloyd Hassell, and Mes-sus Frank Graham (now of Christchurch) and A. S. Ballance. Mr Maughan Barnett will wield the baton.
