MISS TITTELL BRUNE.

This evening Miss Titt«ll Brune will appear at the Opera House, supported by Mr Thomas Kingston and Mr J. C. Williamson's powerful dramatic company. Mr aul Keeters adaptation of Charles Major's popular noved "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" has been selected as the opening production of the season and it is said to be full of good things. The plot turns upon the love between the hot-headed and hot-tempered daughter of the house of Vernon, and Sir John Manners, son of the Duke of Rutland. The two iamilies had long been at deadly emnity and tho acquaintance between the two lovers began through an insolent jest of Manners, who, to anger Sir George Vernon, claimed the daughter's had in fulfilent of a twenty-two years pledge between the fathers that their children should wedv But what commenced in jest goes on in earnest, and the two young people find their course of true love beset with many difficulties, in the creation and demolition of which, the treachery of the ladys cousin, who is her officially recognised 3uitor, ia much Qoncerned as also is the quarrel between Queen Elizabeth and fflary Queen of Scot, and the heroine's now vigorous fits of temper. Miss Tittell Brune's interpretation of the character of Dorothy Vernon and that of Leah in "Leah Kleschna" are said to be two of her greatest achievements since her arrival in Australasia. In "Dorothy Vernon' Mr Thomas Kingston will appear as Sir John Manners and! the other characters will be taken by Jtfessre Gaston Mervale, J. BAtholwood, Vivian Edwards, T. W. Lloyd, Maurice Dudley, Misses Susie Vaughan, Nellie Ferguson, Clara Stevenson, Nellie Calvon and Irby Marshall. Box plans for the two nights of the season are now open at Messrs H. I. Jones and Sons.
