NELSON.

Dear Bee, March 10. The Janet Waldorf Dramatic Company were back in Nelson last week. This is their third visit within the last few months, but the good houses which greeted each performance show that they have won the admiration of the drama-loving people of Nelson, and at the close of the season the announcement that the company would return next month was received with tremendous applause. The opening performance was Sheridan. Knowles’ fine old-time comedy, “The Hunchback,” followed, by Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” and Gilbert’s classical comedy, “Pygmalion and Galatea,” all of which were greatly appreciated by those present, the acting of Miss Waldorf and Mr Norval Macgregor being very clever.
