ENTERTAINMENTS.

THEATRE EOYAL. The excellence of the programme presented at the Theatre Royal is responsible for the large, and appreciative audiences that assemble. Miss Maud Faning stands out as a magnetic exponent of the female coon. Her voice, actions, and dancing are characteristically artistic, and her turn goes with an exhilarating hang. Tho little Elliotts are captivating in their work, and Arthur Elliott is all alive, when holding the stage. After some years George Jones and Ettio Williams return to amuse with some whirlwind patter that is decidedly smart. Tho Williamson girls, Hassan, lianveen, and Elma Anderson are also highly acceptable.
