THE DARGON ENTERTAINMENT.
Miss Dargon gave another excellent entertainment at the Theatre Royal last night. The Catholic Brass Band played again, but the weather was very unpropitious, and the attendance was not so large. The programme was opened with the domestic quarrel between Sir Peter and Lady Teazle in Sheridan’s “ School for Scandal,” followed immediately with a most pathetic rendering of Mrs Norton’s beautiful song “Bingen on the Rhine.” The Scenes from “ Macbeth ” were admirably given. “Not Understood,” one of Mr Thomas Bracken’s popular poems, was read with intense feeling ; as were also “ Barbara Frietchie,” Scenes from “ Deborah,” and the “Picket Guard.” A comic sketch from the “ Widow Bedott Papers,” and “ Sheridan’s Ride ” concluded a most enjoyable intellectual treat. The talented lady was greatly applauded after each recital, and at ten o’clock the Band played the National Anthem, and the performance terminated.
