THE STANFORD DRAMATIC COMPANY.

The title of "The Power and tho Olory," the play in which the Stanford Dramatic Company opens its season on Thursday next, has set many people wor.dariug. Tho name of the piece finds its justification in the general trend of tho story -the power of gold and the glory of goodnoss. The play tells of the short-lived ti-iumph of those 'who do not walk uprightly. -'The iiitfrost of the audience," siys the Otago Daily Times, " was centred in the story from the beginning to tho end, and that they appreciated the plot and the clever, and, at times, powerful acting of the members of the company was manifested many times by hearty and W4-1I sustained apphuse." The management promise that tho new piece is to be mounted with considerable elaboration in regard to scenery and mechanical effects, tho stage pictures b<ing equal to tho?e that illustrotod the performance in Sydney and M-'lbuurue, and secured the comment of tho leadin." Australian dailies that it wes mo'it etlriootly staged. " The Power and tho Glory" will be staged fr,r one night (Thursday) only, and on Friday evening the company will produce " A Soldier and a Man." We are requested to state that the curtain will rise on tho opening night at 7.45 sharp.
