Almost simultaneously with the departure of Mr Hydes' burlesque and comedy company will be the advent of the Stewarts in their original entertainment written for them by the well-known colonial author and playwright Mr Garnet Walsh. The company comprises Mr Eichard Stewart and his three charming daughters, Misses Dooy, Maggie and Nellie, together with Mr Harcourt Lee, a well-known pianist and accompanist. Mr Stewart and his clever daughters have long enjoyed immense popularity with playgoers at the Theatre Boyal, Melbourne, and since they started on their present professional tour they have everywhere been successful; not only in drawing large audiences but in winning their way to popularity. No doubt there are man y in this community who have seen the Stewarts on the boards of the Royal, and do not require any recommendation to go and see them ; but to the numbers who have not had the pleasure of seeing Mr Stewart and his daughters we can promise that they will enjoy a treat if they patronise them.
