Mr Harris is an entertainerja la Grossujith,with whom, by reason of his resourceful humour, inimitable style, and line executive ability as a pianist, he is said to be fully qualified to rank. Always refined and in perfect taste, yet teeming with quaint sayings and musical ellects, his entertaiument proves most enjoyable, Satire on social fancies and fashions is of course, called into requisition, and in this line Mr Harris shows to advantage, He submits the sketch "The Village Choral Society," by Mr (irossmith's permLiion, and Mr Harris' portrayal of the liftura soprano, the agncultural tenor, and the irascible conductor is described as mirthprovoking. He gives musical sketches, pathetic and humoroust; he delivers speeches without words, and he does a specially feeling monologue "The soliloquy of an old piano," added to which his chatty little stories and tales in all dialeots with his inimitable facial expression, are marvel» of artistic cleverness. The box plan is*at Paul s, and the season is positively for to* nigut only.
