SCENE IN A THEATRE.
Christchurch, December 31. Consternation reigned for a few moments last evening at the performance of “ The Girl of the Golden West.” At the conclusion of the third act, when the heroine was making an impetuous appeal for the life of the hero, who had just left the stage to meet his doom, a man in the stalls (apparently overcome with the pathos of Miss Tittell Brune’s emotional words) made a sudden rush and endeavoured to clamber on to the stage, while forcibly impeaching the villain who dared to ‘‘do for” the hero, and begging the heroine to “ stoush the brute.” It was not until the venturesome interrupter had overturned a member of the orchestra and extinguished several lights that he was hurriedly led out by Unsympathetic attendants.
