The comedy players get a big chance in “ Delphine,” and Phil Smith, Leslie Holland, and .Florence Young have a merry time when before the footlights. To-morrow “Katinka,” and Mr George Highland promises us a production which will shade the first presentation of the opera here last year.

Russell, who was manager of the “ Going Up” Company, has returned to Sydney, where he rejoins the managerial staff of the Theatre Royal.
