HOLLOWAY DRAMATIC COMPANY. “TWO LITTLE VAGABONDS.” George R. Sims and Arthur Shirley’s great play, “Two Little Vagabonds,” will be presented at His Majesty’s Theatre on Wednesday next the 23rd, on a scale of completeness that would do credit to the old Adelphi. In fact it is open to question whether the piece has ever been staged more faithfully or with a more scrupulous attention to the miuutial than by Mr Holloway’s talented company. Miss Beatrice Holloway’s Dick is a creation that abides in tho memory. She is an inimitable hoy, with a command of humor that endears her to any and every audience. Moreover, she reaches heightlis ot pathos that stamp her as an actress of mark. She has an admirable support in Miss Mabel Russell (Wally), the second vagabond of the title roll. On the male side there are some remarkable character studies. Mr Kobt. Inman (George Thornton), Mr Godfrey Cass (Captain Derville),' and Mr J. P. O’Neill (Bill Mullins);stand out prominently. The scenes are true to home localities, and have been painted by first-rate artists. There will bo only one performance of “Two Little Vagabonds,” and it will be followed by representations of “The Coal King” and “The Shadows of a Great City.” Despite the ehr-rmous expense involved in bringing this great attraction to Gisborne, the management has decided to charge popular prices only. Tlie box plan for tho season will bo opened at Miller’s oil Monday morning at’ 10. ~ ,
