ENTERTAINMENTS.
THE TITTELL BRUNE SEASON. This morning the box plan for “The Girl of v the Golden West” and “Diana of Dobson’s” will be opened at Miller’s. The Belasco play has _ been selected for the opening production of the Tittell Brune season, on account of the success it achieved in Auckland, when recently staged there. Miss Brune is said to never have been seen to better advantage than in this wild western character of “The Girl,” in which she plays a lone hand in an exciting 'and, at times, desperate game. The proprietress of the one saloon in th mining camp at Cloudy Mountain, in the Sierras, the girl is the one white woman in the region, and hers is the only humanising influence in a commodity of lawless adventurers, such as practically composed the population of California in the opening of the golden age there. Her choice of a partner eventually falls upon who, though possessing the most manly exterior of the lot, has a record as a leader of a bushranging gang, one Dick Johnson, for whose apprehension there is a big reward offered. The play lends itself to exciting and remarkable situations, relieved by a love story of exceptional interest. Mr. Dick Kingston makes a welcome reappearance as Dick Johnson, the bushranger, while Mr. George Bryant as Ranee, Mr. Loring Ferme as Sonora, Mr. Greghan MacMahon as Ashby, Mr. Leonard Welley -as. Nike, and Miss Adele Kelley as Wowkle, are congenially placed. “Diama of Dobson’s” to be staged on Tuesday evening, is a romantic comedy by Cecil Hamilton. It was produced early in the year at the Kingsway Theatre, London, by Miss Lena Ashwell and has proved one of the few successes of .the present London _ season. The idea of the story, an episode on the life of a London shop girl, is decidedly novel and affords the dramatist opportunities that have not before been presented to Colonial theatregoers. Mr®.* Robert Brough, Miss Emma Temple. Nellie Calvin, Florence Kelly, and Edith Lewis appear in the caste.' ' .•
