MISS TITTELL BRUNE.

The approaching diamatio season uns doubtedly marks Bn epoch in the theatrioal annals of Gisborne. Seldom has any season extended beyond three nights, and that an attraction of this magnitude Bhould present four of the most striking successes achieved by Miss Tittell Brune since her appearance in Australia, is significant of advancing prosperity in our city. The plays seleoted far production during her approaching Gisborne season of four nights are ” Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall,” which will be presented at His Majesty’s Theatre for the first time in Gisborne on Wednesday, 3rd October. I Miss Bruns is supported by an exoep. tional cast of popular artists, including the youDg Eoglish aotor Mr Thoma 3 Kingston. On the seoond night of the season “ Lsah Kleechna ” will be staged. This remarkable play, by C. M. 8. MoLmnon, is described by a Melbourne oritic as “ a melodrama of a very superior kind ; its chief efieots are those of nervous excitement, its maiu situations those of story and adventnre. Even if it were nothing more it would be excellent melodrama, Its incidents are so well oontrived, Its adventures ex

oite such eager curiosity. But it does more than this—a good deal more for its adventures happen to people with character ; its external incidents are only

the compliment of internal and spiritual struggles, which not only stimulate the netvos, but touch the heart. Miss Brune os Lrab won fresh laurels, and gave further proof of her exceptional fund cf versatility. She has aohieved yet another remarkable success.” The third production will be Zangwill’s remarkable original and sensationally

I successful comedy, " Merely Mary Ann,” ’ of which it has been said : The alternations of witty merriment; and touohing pathos oause the work to tour above all the comedies of modern times, and in I which Miss Brune seems to have imbibed I the very spirit which inspired the great J writer. The season will olose on Saturday, 6th October with a performance of the worldwide favorite—of which so much has been heard—“ Sunday.” ' The box plan is now open at Miller’s, and intending patrons are advieed to secure their seats early to avoid the risk of disappointment.
