ODIVA AND HER SEALS.

The Odiva act to appear at the Opera House on Friday for a short season, is unique, it stands alone, far above any other single novelty the world has produced. Set amongst rocks with-"its frontage of plate glass, the huge tank, containing over SCOO gallons of water, in which tho seals are seen disporting, makes of itself a picture that is a masterpiece, but far transcending the wonderful selting is the reasoning power displayed by the seals, who obey all commands aecurately and without hesitation, and go through their evolutions with Odiva with a, grace that is only equalled by that talented little artiste herself. In this act the audience will find moments for laughter and astonishment, and tense moments when misgiving gives place to alarm for the safety of the fascinating Odiva, who remains under Water for such tnibelievable lengths of time, with her wonderful seals playing round her. Odiva and her seals, are supported hy many star acts, wlrch includes the Jubilee trio in
