THE TITTELL BRUNE SEASON.

Playgoers will to-morrow evening, at the Opera House, have the opportunity of welcoming Miss Tittel Brune, who is supported by Mr Thomas Kingston and J. C. Willia mson' s com hi ned 1 )ra mat i c Com - pany, the opening production being David Belasco's play, " The Girl of the Golden West." This Belasco play has been selected for the opening on account of the great success it has everywhere achieved. Miss Brune is said to have never been seen to better advantage than in this Wild Western character of "The Girl " in which she plays a lone hand in an exciting and at times desperate game. Her's is the only humanising influence in a community of lawless adventurers, such as practically composed the population of California in the opening of the golden age there. The play lends itself to exciting and remarkable situations, relieved by a love story of exceptional iilterest. On Wednesday evening the company stage Cecil .Hamilton's new romantic comedy "Diana of Dobson's." The play affords the company an opportunity of appearing in an entirely different production to the opening one. "Diana of Dobson's" is written around an episode in the life of a London shopgirl. She is bewailing the fate of her position, when she receives word of a small legacy left to her. With this sudden acquisition of wealth, she determines to forget her troubles, and gees, to a fashionable holiday resort on the Continent. There posing as a "rich widow/' she falls in love with a captain of the Guards, who. on learning of Diana's true position, leaves her, only to meet her again on the Thames Embankment. There the past is forgotten, and the play ends to the satisfaction of playgoers. Mrs Robert Brough and Miss Emma Temple are included in the caste.
