POLLARD'S OPERA COMPANY.

This ever-ivelcome combination is about to visit us once more, and will renew accjuaintancc with local playgoers on Thursday next. The season is limited to two nights, and we are promised the most successful productions of modem times, the world-famed eomie opera " The Geisha," and the celebrated musical comedy " The Jielle of New York."

The Company presenting them is universally acknowledged as the leading musical organisation of the Colonics. When to Mr Pollard's already large Company is added such artistes as Miss Florence Perry, thecharmint;English prima donna; Miss Beatrice Perry, a clever soubrelte; Miss Jennie Opie, aii actress and vocalist of repute; Mr Albert Whelan, an eccentric comedian, who has made all New Zealand laugh for months past; Mr Charles Carter, who has been dubbed, " New Zealand's representative tenor;" and Mr William Paul, the celebrated English operatic baritone (late of the Carl liosa Opera Company, and Madame Albani Concerts, then some idea as to the magnitudo of the undertaking may be formed.

Never in the history of Muslerlon has such a theatrical novelty visited us, the expenses will be enormous, exceeding over one hundred pounds nightly, and we are certain that playgoers will show their appreciation of Mr Pollard's energy, by packing ihe Town Hall to its utmost capacity. The box plan will be opcncdatMr J. P. Llliot's.on Monday morning at ten o'clock, when thero is certain to be a rush for scats.
