POLLARD OPERA COMPANY.
liik visit of the Pollard Company has hctii looked forward to for some time, and t!ic bonking for each of the fivo pieces to he produced here is hi", hut the chief attraction appears to he the much-talkcd-oi •• Florodont,” which will open the season on Monday evening next. The immense popularity of this piece is said to be due to the line opportunities it affords histrionically and vocally to all the principals, while the chorus and ballets have chances to distinguish themselves not afforded in any other play. That clever comedian, Mr W. Percy, takes the part of " Tweedlepuneh,” in which he is said to overshadow all his previous characters. “ P'lorodora ” is liberally sprinkled with tuneful ballads, many of which, such as “ The Shade of tiro Palm" and “ Silver 1 Star of Love,” are sure to become, popularised. while tire concerted number, 2 Must Love Someone,” sung by six clerks and six girls, is one of the hits of the piece. Something like 200 seats have already been booked for “ Maritana ” on the Tuesday evening, and Southern critics speak very highly of the Company’s pei formance of this delightful work. A 1 together a good time is in store for theatre goera next week
