THE SHAUGHRAUN.

We desire to remind our readers of the dramatic entertainment whioh is to be given in the Princess Theatre, Dunedin. on Wednesday evening in aid of the orphanage of the Sisters of Mercy, South Dunedin. 'The Shaughraun ' which will be staged on the occasion is one of the best of our Irish dramas, and as it has been in active rehearsal for a considerable time there is every reason to expect that patrons will have an excellent evening's enjoyment, especially as the oast comprises some of the best amateurs in Dunedin We are informed that the scenery will be very fine and the costumes most appropriate, nothing having been left undone in this direction to make the performance thoroughly realistic of time and place Incidental music will be given by a full orchestra under the direction of Mr. Robertahaw. Everything points to a successful performance, and apart from that the audience, which we hope will be commensurate with the efforts of the organisers and the worthiness of the object, will have the satisfaction of knowing that while they are receiving value for their moneyanthe shape of a couple of hours of legitimate amusement they are at the same time assisting the good Sisters in providing for the homeless and the orphan
