Air Albert Lucas and Aiiss Lilia Wilde, who have an English reputation, are spoken of most highly by the Australian and New .Zealand press.

Kennedy .appears in the Irish comedy, “ O’Callaghan on his last legs,” of which an exchange says : —“ \Ve have seen Air Kennedy in the Irish comedy ‘ O’Callaghan on his last legs,’ and he is a°fair beauty. The realistic way in which he kisses his <M ’ghter in one scene is annoying to the affectionate onlooker. The memory of it lives with ns yet.” The box-plan for reserved seats is now open at Air G. Hall’s.
