STRATFORD TOWN HALL.

"FLORODORA," TO-NIGHT,

Tlie overture commences' at 7.40, and the management trusts that patrons will be seated by that time. Thi fact that the wholes' of the dress circle and the major portion of the orchestral stalls have been booked points to a crowded house, anil it is expected that "standing room only" will te announced before the orchestra opens the production. The members of the Society have been practising assiduously] for some months, and in view of their great reception in "Cingalee" last year, every effort has been made to live up to the reputation then established. Judging by the rehearsals of late, the public; of Stratford and district should have no cause for complaint regarding the enjoyment of the evening, for good vocalists, promising actors and actress3s, pretty dresses, tuneful music and attractive scenery all combine to make a memorable performance. Wellwishers of the Society look forward with confidence to a successful staging of this, pretty comic opera, and there seems to be no reason in the world why their hopes should not be realised this evening.

The excellent supper which was provided was done justice to by the visitors, some of whom came from as far as .F'tliam.
