Tins (Friday) evening, at the Theatre Royal, the ever-welcome Taylor-Carring-ton management, by special arrangement witli John Fuller and Sons, will introduce to their numerous New Plymouth patrons an entirely new and magnificently tinted pictorial dramatisation ol the doings of the Kelly'Gang. Thus a leading city daily: "The theatre was invaded by a huge audience to see this latest novelty in the amusement world. The house was crowded in every part, and numbers of people were "turned away. Opening with l'itzpatrick's insult to Kate Kelly and his being shot down by her brother Dan, there follows the taking to the bush of the brothers, together with Byrne and Hart. Nora Creogan's forced betrayal of Ned, her death and her lover's escape, the party's oath of vengeance, attack on the police camp, sticking up of the Euroiv and Jereldcrie banks, bailing-up of the police, Kate Kelly's great ride when slie outwits the police, in fact, every (rue incident up till the capture of tlie leader of the gang—the notorious Ned Kelly. There arc throughout the story a number of thrilling episodes of pursuit and escape and plenty of shooting, which keep the patrons held closely throughout." Despite the great cost of this attraction, popular prices will bo charged, and no extra fee is made for hooking seats at Collier's,
