MONTGOMERY'S ENTERTAINERS.

The people « favourites are Montgomery's "tertamers. That, unquestionably, is an absolute fact, and this popular combination will appear in the Theatre Royal, Timaru, on Weanesaay, March 25th, when the the-atie-gomg public of this town will have the pleasure of witnessing the musical production of •' East Lynne," recently secured by Mr Montgomery. In our last issue we gave an account clipped from a leading journal of what happens in the first act i<ioni the same source we secure tlie foilowing description of the second actLevison, the villain, abandons Lady Isabel. In a dreary room of a second-rate continental house, he infoims her he is weary of her, and offers her a sum of money to part. She rejects his proposal with scorn, and orders him out of her presence. On his depart ute she gives wav to a sense of her forlorn and helpless situation. In the third , act we find Lady Isabel home again disguised as Madam Vine, a nurse, she has obtained an appointment in her old home to tend her son Willie who is seriously ill. She is introduced to Carlyle, her husband (who, thinking her dead, has mairied again) by his new wife Barbara. Carlyle is struck by her voice and sturts, although h# docs not recognise her. Leaving his son to her care, Barbara and Carlyle are left alone, and going to a piano in an ar.te-room he sings to her "When other Lips," the favourite song of his former wife—the Lady Isabel. Lady Isabel returns and pourtrays her agony of mind in a ic«ne of most impassioned" acting, and finally quits the room. Two more acts follow which ponrtrav the deaths of Little Willie and Lady Isabel. This show should not be missed on any account. Miss F.ttie Hargood, Wellington's brilliant soprano, has been specially engaged.
