AMUSEMENTS.

"THE THIEF." To-night this 1 nov?l and original plav will be produced by Mr J. C. Williamson's New Dramatic Combination. The story affords many intense situations, and allows scope for the'highest class of emotional acting. To interpret this play a specially strong cast has been selected. Mr G. Titheradge will appear as Raymond Legardes, a very strong part, and one that this consummate artist has made his own. The guilty wife—the thief —will doubtless receive an excellent interpretation at the hands of Miss Ulga Humphrey, whilst Mr Henry Kolker, an American actor of high reputation, will enact Richard Voysin, the heart-broken husband. These clever artists will be supported by a very adequate company. The box plan i now open at Miss Rive's.

THE CHERNIAVSKI CONCERTS,

Speaking ot Lao, Jati and Mi'icbel Cherniavski, the wonderful young musicians who are to visit this town on Tuesday next, the "Musical Times" says: —"It was thought that the last word on musical prodigies had been said, but whereas hitherto th°y have come in individuals, now they are coming in families. Leo, Jan, and Mischel Cherniavski have made the most blase critics and con-cert-goers alike thrill with astonishment and dismay. Now comes the news that three more of the same family are expected in England shortly. They come of a musical stock, the grandfather being a clever violinist, and their father a conductor of repute." Under the auspices of Mr Edward Branscombe, of Westminster Glee fame, these youngsters are making a tour of the British Empire, in the course of which they aro visiting Australia and New Zealand.
