THEATRICAL CRITIQUES.
[To tb.G Editor of tbe Hawked Bay Tlmes.J Sir, —Be good enough to insert in your nest publication the following:—An article recently appeared in the ‘Hawke’s Bay Herald’ criticising the performance and singing at the Theatre Royal, which article I think very unfair, as the person who sang ‘ Finnigau’s Wake’ might have been encored as well as the gentleman who played the old Miser (who prompted himself with the use of the book.) I justly consider that the gentleman who sang ‘Flanigan’s Wake’ really performed his task well. I may state, in conclusion, that the same person had sung a song previously, that same evening, when he was loudly encored. This it was that induced him to sing ‘ Finnigan’s Wake ’ —for which he received such a castigation in the columns of your contemporary. —I am, &c.. Play Fair. Napier, 6th June, 1866.
