. entertainment, which promises to possess much attraction is kbe given this evening in tlie eatre Eoyal by some fifty porforrs under the able management of Mrß 0, Hooper. Tho title is the "Flower Queen" and its "argument" m follows: The performers, as flowers, 'meet in a secluded dell in the forest to choose their Queen. Aperson, dissatisfied with the world, seeks in tho same place retirement from its'cares •and. disappointments. The lowers toll of love and duty, and the recluse (Mrs George Hooper), learning that to fill well the station allotted by Providence, is to be happy, resolvos to return again to unselfishness and contentment among her fellow creatures, The musio is splendid in the oxtremo, containing several grand choruses, together with solos and recitations. The stage will be converted into a beautiful grotto, overhanging with luxuriant ferns nnd climbing plants; with a massive rocltery filled with flowering shruU in the centre, and a variety of charming flowors filling up the sides and background. The performers will consist entirely of ladies, ranging from babyhood to womanhood each representing a flower, and dressed in sparkling and fantastic garments of tho brightest and gayest ■dors, emblematic of the flowers they Tepresent, producing a most enchanting fairy scene. Mrs Hooper has taken considerable pains in her task of training the littlo ones, and >vc trust her exertions will bo well repaid by a crowded audience both to-night and to-morrow evening, when tho entertainment will be ropeated, with the addition of the Tableau Yivnnts, performed by ladies and gentlemen from Greytown.
