ENTERTAINMENTS.

ALLEN DOONE COMPANY., After an absence of over 12 months, the popular Irish comedian, Mr Allen Doone, and his company shortly open their season here. The return of this successful artist has been looked forward to, as his productions have always been associated with completeness of detail, and treatment. The unnatural or hideous burlesque of the Irish character is absent, and the real product of that little Isle of Love, Romance and Heroism is seen. For this alone Mr Doone has earned the gratitude of all who admire wholesome productions. In addition, Mr Doone adds a personality that is electrical in captivating his audiences, and his sympathetic and artistic singing l will be remembered keenly. He brings us new material both as regards plays and songs, though doubtless many of his admirers will want to see the "Wearing of the Green" again. Miss Edna Keeley, that clever and finished artiste, still supports Mr Doone, and the company generally is precisely the same. The play chosen for the opening is a romantic story of Irish life in the 18th century, entitled "Molly Bawn." The plan is on view at Paul's.
