WELLINGTON NOTES.

(By

“Lorgnette.”)

WELLINGTON, October 7. Miss Kathlene Macdonell is at present playing a farewell season of five nights at the Grand Opera House. Th e season opened last Friday evening, the first two performances being Hubert Henry Davies’ emotional play “The Outcast.” This evening “Daddy Long Legs” will be staged and repeated again to-morrow night. The last night of the season will be devoted to the production of “Romance.” The Margaret Wycherly season with “The Thirteenth Chair” was great in every way. The company supporting Miss Wycherly is a really good one, everyone being an artist of repute. Frank Levy, touring manager for the Allen Doone Company, passed through Wellington last Wednesday on his way to Sydney. He informed me that the popular Irish actor will be back again in the course of a few

(months. Mr. Doone’s South Island tour has been just as big a success as the North Island one was. Signor Cappelli’s three farewell concerts in the Grand Opera House were tremendously successful. The theatre was packed on each occasion. The famous tenor’s New Zealand tour was a great one, both from an artistic and financial standpoint. The English Pierrots finished their Wellington season at the Town Hall Concert Chamber last Saturday night.
