AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMME. An enjoyable programme is promised patrons at the King’s Theatre this evening, when Air Drayton Afenables’ pupils make their first appearance.

Miss Shaw is a soprano of great volume and sweetness, her numbers being the waltz song “Dance Away,” and “Love’s a Merchant:” Miss E. Edwards is a coloratura soprano of high range.
