emotions, touched finely with the divino attribute of forgiveness," In "Nobody's Daughter" thVauthor Has treated a delicate, subject, that of the illegitimacy of a beautiful young girl, with tho tact that stamps it as tho work of a genius.

To quoUfrom the Sydney "Evening News":—" 'Nobody's Daughter' is a play which anybody's daughter may witness without 'offence to their moral sensibilities!, for the reason that tho subject is so delicately treated that even when tho thin ico'is ventured upon it is never broken." "A Woman of No Importance," Oscar Wildo'fi brilliant comedy,'•■will-conclude tho season. The box plan will open at Joner.', stationers, on Tuesday next, at 0 a.m.
