A notable dramatic' season will be ened

at the Theatre Royal nex Monday evening by the Janet Waldorf Dramaric Company who will appear in 1. Royal Diva se, the celebrated spectacular, historical and military drama. The success of this piece throughout the English speaking work has been remarkable. A strong emotional play it presents great opportunities for the passoniate ponuryal of the phases of tif: which strike the deepest chards of human nature.

This opium was to be immediately returned to Mess. Bradley and Company and further action was to be taken in the matter.
