Mr Charles Verner’s Dramatic Company.
“ARUAH NA POQUE." Last night Varner's Royal Irish Drama Company staged 11 Arrak-na Poguo,” the third of their porformanoos in Gisborne. Tho house was a poor one, which, considering tho oxoollonoo of tho prosontation, is to bo wondorod at. In those days oi Amorioan ono-atar companies, it is refresh ing to boo tho old fashiouod play or oomody si aged in which ovory ono engaged must rnnko his or hot own part. 11 Arrah-na-Poguo ” is ono of thoso quaint Irish plays that givo scones of Inland in hor most troublous time, whon the singing of tbo “ Wearing of tho Groon ” meant sovoro punishmont. Tho obblo last night was admirably suitod, and although want of rokoutsing with tho supors was noticeable, tho ptinoipals took tholr parts capitally. Tooro is no doubt whatever that Mr Chas. Vurntr oan interpret tho Irieh oharaotor with faithfulnsup, and it was a 11 raro troat ” for tho audionoo whon ho sang aud dunuod in true Irish fashioD.
To-night tho soason will bo oonoludod with •' East Lynne.”
