"M'EWEN."

. .The brilliant Scottish entertainer M'Ewon scored another great succcss at tils Opera House last night. . As on his opening night, his sleight of-hand, work was most (tntorr,lining, and his brisk method of doing his turns is finite fascinating. As a hypnotic specialist he has shown himself to be an expert of the liret calibre,' and he treats even this uncanny subject in a manner which makes it entirely interesting. In his varied programme M'Ewen remains a great artist throughout. The snpporling members of his company have won their audiences ■ with apparent case. Mr. Will Bnlton dano?s brightly, and Miss Florence Hartley is a yocalist of good voice and charm.
