AMUSEMENTS.

"MOONDYNii." A contemporary of ours, in noticing 'the Tavlor-Carrington Company's new tlrama, says': " 'Moondyne' is unquestionably one of the best of Australian plays. The plot is ingenious and carefully worked out; the sensationalisms are exciting and convincing; the comedy portions are funny without being in the least degree silly or vulgar; and the dialogue is powerful and interesting. Mr. Taylor as the hero plays with power and Considerable artistic restraint, and Miss Ella Carrington's performance of Sister Cecilia is a most natural performance of <a novel and interesting character, THe cast of characters is a lengthy one, but the parts are all done justice to by the members of the company. The scenic 'beauties of 'the piece are many atid varied, and include the convict camp l>y night, interior of Millbank Prison, deck of the convict ship, and Fremantle 'in the forties." Seats may be reserved at the Collier Piano Company's ware.'house for Monday night's performance. HEWITT'S PICTURES. The excellent programme submittal by Hewitt's at the Theatre Royal la<t evening was much appreciated by tlio-e who attended. The programm? will be presented for the last time this evening, «nd we can thoroughly recommend it to lovers' of high-class cinematography.
