THE DOBSON-KENNEDYCOMFANY

This well-known and popular company played " My Sweetheart," last evening, in the Harmonic Hall, to an excellent house, considering the lough nature of the weather. It is needless to say that everybody was well pleased with the parformanee, the singing and acting of Miss Thornton and Mr Palmer (the latest addition to the company) being much appreciated. Mr Palmer was heartily applaxided for his rendering of those pathetic little ditties " There's No One Like Mother to Me " and " When I was a Whistling Boy," for the latter of which ho received an undeniable encore. Mr Palmer has a pleasing'tenor voice arid sings with much feeling. , The other characters ably supported -.the principals, the "dudo" causing niuch merriment. Although many were somewhat disappointed at the non-production of " Little Lord Fauntleroy "—on account of the illness of Mr Kennedy ' the subetituti in of such a popular comedy as " My Sweetheart " fully compensated for the disappointment, and it is probable that the company will again visit us a little later on with " Little Lord Fauntleroy."
