The fame of Signor and Signora Majoroni as dramatic artists of a very high order is now fully established, and they ha vo just completed a most ouocossful tour of the Australian colonies. The company is a remarkably strong one. In addition to tho Signor and tho Signora the following loading artists aro on tho ataff: — Miss Lucy Harwood, formerly a member of Mr Henry Irving's Adelphi Company, and more latoly with tho Rignolds, Mrs George Gordon, wifo of the woll-known aconic artist, Miss Jewett, and the Misses Apploton ; Mr H. Jowett, Mr Lawrouco, who was with Miss CJ. Ward, Messrs Hoyt, Kingston Kemp, Alvtcnlf, and a largo number
