Everything points to Mr J. C. Williamson being faced with the same problem with the pantomime' in Sydney as he was in Melbourne —that is as to how, in view of its enormous popularity, he can so manipulate his arrangements as to secure for it an extended season there. Indeed, he has already begun to look into his immediate arrangements for that purpose, so steadily does “Mother Goose” play to' capacity limit. Curiously enough, the daily takings in Sydnev are larger than they were in Melbourne, although Her Majesty’s Theatre in the former city is smaller than its namesake in the latter. But the explanation of this apparent paradox lies in the booking, which is really remarkable in that each seat returns a higher average for every performance.

The round of Irish comedy dramas played by Mr Andrew Mack and his company in Wellington lias proved successful, * and .that popular actor is on his tour of the remaining New Zealand cities, which will occupy him until the end of June.
