ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE RET. 0. CLARK’S LECTURES. The Rev, Charles Clark, by a happy arrangement, will be able to remain in Dunedin longer than he anticipated. Both the theatres and the 1 emperance Hall being engaged this week, his lecture iu the Queen’s Theatre on Saturday was intended to be his last; but when hi was called on at the conclusion of the entertainment, the rev. gentleman stated that he was happy to say that the estimable and accotn plished Miss Christian had not only agreed to give up the Temperance Hall to him for his farewell entertainments, but that she had consented to assist at them. Mr Clark left this morning to fulfil engagements at Lawrence and Tokoraairiro, but he will return to town on Wednesday, on the evening of which day he will give Dickens’s “Christmas Carol.” The songs which Miss Christian will sing on the occasion of her first' appearance are announced elsewhere. THE PRINCESS THEATRE. Three pieces— melodrama, comedy, and farce—constituted the billon Saturday night, when there was a capital attendance in the lower parts of . the theatre, and a more than average attendance in the dress circle. In “Black-Eyed Susan” and “The Bonnie Fishwife ” the regular company appeared ; and in one of the intervals Mr Vivian sang two of his character songs, which received encores. “A Night of Terror” is the title of a tissue of absurdities which serve to introduce the Duvallis in the Can-can. We should have thought the performers would have had the good sense to have acted upon the hint we have already given them; but on Saturday we regretted to find the dialogue interspersed to a greater degree than on any previous occasion with vulgarisms and passages of double meaning. The dancing of the Sisters Duvalli is nightly received with the applause its excellence deserves. To-night “A Silent Woman” and “ Red Riding Hood ” will be played by company, and the Duvallis will appear in The Brigands.”
