OPERA HOUSE
THE MAJERONI COMPANY. The Majeroni season closed on Saturday with a representation of “ East. Lynne.” On the two preceding evenings the play in which the company made one of their greatest successes, “ Brother Against Brother,” was staged. The plot of the piece is simple and effective, and shows the play of the emotions rather than a series of acrobatic performances, as is the case with too many melodramas. The interest centres round a merchant and his two sons, the elder, the son of a former marriage, who is of the heroic type, and the other, who is a waster. The chief merit of the play is that the heroic people are avenged by the coals of fire process, and the disreputable concomitants reform). It is a sound, wholesome drama, and George Ma;eroni as the father, Mario as the hero, and Miss Ogden as the heroine were exceptionally good. The others made up an excellent cast.
On Saturday the season 'closed with “ East Lynne,” and the company are now touring the country districts.
