THEATRE ROYAL.
GRAND CHARITY CONCERT:
A CREDITABLE SUCCESS....
The Theatre Royal was crowded to the doors with a distinguished indi- ence on Saturday fight, the occasion being the grand charity concert art": | rangad by Madame Lortiz Gerdon in faid of the Blind Han, Kowkou, and the Pokfelum Home. It was a co- įplete success. The performers wbal had contributed the services so generously acquirted themselves nobly, and the audience received them with every evidence of enthu- siasm. If there was one criticism to be made, it was that there was too lavish a fees of good things. The | programme might have been shorter and still given full measure. Bet maskee that; such an entertainment doesn't come every week, and when it does come, it can afford to be long. The concert was under the panon. ege of His Excellency the Governor and Lady Stubbs. His Excellency Vice Admiral Sir Alexander and Miss Du. His Excelitity Major-Genera! for George and Lah Kirkganick Commodore and Mrs. Bowden Smith. Mr. Justice Gompertz and Mrs. Gam-
