**THE THIEF."

(Continued from Page 7). sots, there is hardly a conceivable feminine emotion or characteristo which Miss Hollatt does not die- play to the life coquettishness,pity, joy, fear, cajolery, bullying, fary, despair, passionate pleading and pathetically futile argument; not a single weapon whereby she oan make her own.case good, and keep her husband's love, is neglected; and the result is one of the most heart-stirring pictures imaginable.

Lance-Sergeant Wilson again brought a street beggar before Mr Melbourne, at the Police Court, this morning.

We congratulate Mr Dallas on really fine piece of artistry..

The subsidiary parts were re markably woll played. Mr Robert Ashby contrived to do a deal of good and artistic work by aug gestion, and Mr Edward Bonfield took full advantage of a couple of very moving scenes. If the management of the Victoria Then tre will keep the windows closed to-night, and so shut out the street noises, those who go to see the play are in for an unusual

treat.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

Arrangement for Overcoming the noise.

Touching the noise made by passing trama at the Victoria Theatre last night and the conse- quent inability of part of the sudience to hear all that was spoken from the stage, it is worth mentioning that arrange ments have to-day been made with the Tramway Company for avercoming this difficulty. While the company is performing trams will slow down in passing the Theatre, and intending visitors to the Theatre can now rely on hearing the plays throughout without interruption or incon-

venience,
