THE TITTELL BRUNE SEASON.

Miss Tittell Brune, supported bv Mr Thos. Kingston and Mr J. C. Williamson's Combined Dramatic Company, will inaugurate a season at- the Opera House on Tuesday evening. The first appearance here of Miss Brune will be welcomed bylocal theatre-goers. The opening production will be David Belasco's play, "The Girl of the Golden West." The scene is laid in California, and the storv tells of life in the early days. Miss Tittell Brune is supported by Mr Thos. Kingston as the Toad agent, and the company includes many well-known favorites. The production is staged by Mr Priestly Morrison, one of the most successful American playproducers of the day. The second production, on Wednesday, will be "Diana of Dobson's," a romantic comedy written on an episode in the life of a London shopgirl. The play is dramatised from Cicely Hamilton's popular book, and when recently staged in Sydney was an .immediate success. It has also proved one of the triumphs of the last London season,, and is being produced nightly by Miss Lena Ashwell at the Kingsway Theatre. It -is an amusing play, with a novelty of incident. It opens quaintly in a dormitory scene, in which half-a-dozen tired shop assistants are retiring. The box plan for both productions will be opened at the Dresden to-morrow morning.
