Clara Kimball is the heroine of the play, which is Russian in theme and sentiment. She plays the part of a girl lawfully wedded to two husbands, both of whom are sincere in their regard for her. This situation is the strong point of a play which is full of dramatic situations. Miss Young has perhaps the most ardu- ( ous role of her career in the part of the beautiful Hope Ivanovna, and her environment, in which she is placed, is deeply romantic.' and expiring. The power of Russian police olliaiism, cruellies to political and other prisoners who arc* exiled in Siberia, life in convict stations, Cossack lights, and a wolf chase, an- some of the incidents of the innumerable scenes of the drama.

TOP NORWOODS. The following is taken from a Masterton paper, where Prof. Norwood lias just concluded bis fourth season, making in all thirteen nights, lie comes to Poxton for one night only on Tuesday, August I bib; Desphe the inclemency of the weather, there was a packed audience at the Town Hall last night, when Professor Norwood, wlio has returned to Maslcrlou for a two nights’ season, gave one of ids enlerlaiintietils. On his previous visits to Masterton the Professor lias greatly pleased bis audiences with the programme presented, but last night’s effort was even heller. The skill he showed as a hypnotist was indeed marvellous. Ot an excellent stage presence and a retim'd manner in addressing both subjects and audience —in complete contrast l<> some of the exhibitions of bullying which have beer, witnessed by audiences iu AJaslerton at more limn one hypnotic entertainment by other hypnotists Professor Norwood quickly establishes himself a favourite. His chief object is to create laughter —a very laudable object in these dark days, when our I bought s are constantly on the war, and a diversion in the matter of being able to enjoy a hearty laugh is good tor us, and in his effort the Professor undoubtedly succeeds. The fun was fast and furious on the stage at times, and the audience screamed with laughter at the antics and the delusions of the ‘subjects.’ The cntex’tninmont was refined in character, there being nothing coarse or objectionable about it. It was one long laugh, interspersed with an interesting dissertation by the Professor on the subject of hypnotism, which was listened to witli keenness by the audience, who derived much valuable information in x'egard to hypnotism from his remarks.”
