THEATRE ROYAL.
JOHN F. SHERIDAN. ' This evening the inimitable Irish comedian, John F. Sheridan, will make his first appearance at the Theatre Royal, vf ter a most successful S'iaaon in Auckland. The opening production will be Geo. R. Sims aud Leonard Merriek's musical comedy drama, " When the Lamps are Lighted," which is described as lively and interesting. It is a drama with a strong flavour of comedy, while numerous songs are introduced, written for Mr Sheridau, thus giving him an opportunity of showing hjs versatility. '• Wheu the Lamps are Lighted " is a quaint combination of musical comedy and drama. There is in it sufficient sensation and pathos for a couple of melodramas, and enough humour for several comedies. Among the many striking scenes may be mentioned " The Fvrte and Gala," '• Outside Waterloo Station," " The Slums at Wapping," " The Thames Embankment," and others. Incidental to the piece rro the following songs, duets, etc.: — " Some Day/ " When the Lamps are Lighted," '• Dandy Pat," and " Fuuicula Funiculi."
