Credit- is due also to Mr E. llcstieaux, the .Musical Director, to tlie principals an I chorus, and to the orchestra. The )w----ai directors of the X T cv. Zealand Picture Supplies, Messrs A. Behan and E. A loss, are to ho complimented on their enterprise in undertaking the financial responsibility, securing properties, cony rights etc., for the production.
