"ALADDIN."

Mr, J. C. "Williamson's 'successful pantomime will be? seen in all its glory at the' Opera House on Tuesday and Wednesday next.'. The pantomime is s:iid to ''bristle" with novelties and specialities. Among these will be gorgeous scenery, pretty ballets, and catchy songs,: but 'the success of this year's extravaganza is attributed a good deal to the strong combination of comedians, singers, dancers, and pantomimsts, who were all personally -engaged by Mr. Williamson and Mr. Gerard Coventry during their recent tour through Europe nnd the ■ United States of America. There is always much interest taken by playgoers in the interpreter of the character of the Dame and they will be pleased to learn that this part is in the hands of Mr. Harry Phydora, of I;mry Lane, who appeared with so much success in the role of "Mother Goose" four years ago. Mr. J. M. Campbell, the Dame of last year's successful pantomime will ze seen in the part of the Emperor of Japan. Miss Carrie Moore's younger sister, Eva, will make her dobut bore in the character of the Princess. Miss Moore has a pleasing stage rrescnw and a sweet voice. Miss Mario Eaton created a furore of enthusiasm in Australia by her brilliant representation of the part of "Aladdin." Tn addition to possessing the dash and physique necessary for a principal boy, Miss Eaton is also gifted with a soprano voice quite out of the ordinary, and her singing is a feature of the performance.
