THE last performance of "The Geisha" by the Dallas Company took place on Saturday night presented to the principal ladies for their sing- before a good audience. Many bouquets were ing, and the production was a very successful one. "A Runaway Girl" is billed for to-night and to-morrow night and the lively music in this piece is sure to attract many to the Theatre. The "Belle of New York" occupies the stage Wednesday and Thursday, and as we have already seen this piece presented by the Company, no doubts can be entertained about the quality of the production. Siturday next is the last performance by Mr. Dallas's Com pany this season, when "San Toy" is promised.
