Entertalnment Notes.

ENTERTALNMENT NOTES .

Lyric . —A particularly charming , bright and lively piece has just been produced under the management of Mr . Tom B . Davis , which we venture to predict will have a lengthy and successful run . It is of the musical comedy order , though it might fairly be termed a comic opera , and is entitled " Florodora , " written by BIr . Owen Hall , with lyrics by Blessrs . E . Boyd-Jones and Paul Euhens , while the music is hy BIr . Leslie Stuart . The story is simplicity itself , but the dialogue is full of smart though somewhat

caustic sayings as to the doings of society . Cyrus W . Gilfain having " annexed" the Island of Florodora from the father of Dolores , seeks to marry her in order to secure his title and possessions . Unfortunately she is in love with Frank Abercoed and he with her , while Lady Holyrood desires to wed Cyrus . To get rid of Frank , BIr . Gilfain wants him to marry his daughter Angola , who is betrothed to Captain Donegal , and the ensuing complications may be imagined . To put things

straight Gilfain enlists the services of Anthony Tweedlepunch , a showman , phrenologist , & c , who knows the secret of Dolores' birth and Gilfain ' s rascality , but he only serves to make matters worse , until Gilfain's confession is extorted by Lady Holyrood , when the various lovers pair off . The music is certainly above the average , and many of the songs will soon be heard all over London . Bliss Ada Eeeve , as Lady Holyrood , has the best part , her acting , singing and dancing meeting with much appreciation . Her song on

"Tact" is very taking , and received a double encore . Miss Kate Cutler performs the part of Angela in an admirable manner , her Whistling Song and "I've an inkling , " both by Mr . Bubens , also eliciting encores . Dolores is represented by Miss Evie Greene , a new comer who is heartily welcomed . The principal male parts are sustained by BIr . C . E . Stevens , an excellent Cyrus Gilfain ; BIr . Melville Stewart , the manly representative of Frank

Abercoed ; BIr . E . Stevens , as Donegal ; BIr . Frank Holt , as Leandro ; and BIr . Willie Edouin , who makes a most amusing Tweedlepunch . The chorus , both male and female , are excellent , and the whole piece goes with a swing that is delightful to witness . The dresses are exceedingly rich and handsome , and the two scenes of the Island und Abercoed Castle , by Julian Hicks , were greeted by tho audience with applause . We were glad to notice that Bro . H . J . Callain is once again to the fore as BIr . Davis ' s acting manager .

London Pavilion . —Bro . Frank Glemster , tbe popular manager of this establishment , announces a special Matinee , by permission of the Directors , for Monday week , the 4 th December , the proceeds of which will be handed to the Lord Mayor , in aid of the Transvaal War Fund for Widows and Orphans . Several of the most celebrated artistes of the Music Halls have promised their

support , and a lengthy programme will be presented . The latest novelties of this Hall include Mdlle . Olive , a very clever juggler ; an excellent patriotic song " Sons of the Empire , " written by BIr . Jack Bradford , and sung by Mr . Leo Stormont ; and the inimitable Bliss Letty Lind , who is especially engaged in a repertoire of her favourite songs and dances . There is always an enjoyable entertainment to be found at the London Pavilion .

Wyndham ' s . —It is very gratifying to notice the splendid result of Bro . Charles Wyndham ' s efforts to increase the Patriotic Fund , on the occasion of the opening of his new theatre . This is the age of records and big figures , but we doubt whether any artor has raised so large a sum a * £ 4 , 000 . Hearty good wishes to Bro . Wyndham , long life to him , and a full measure of the success he so richly deserves for his new house .

War.

WAR .

A T sound of all these long-borne martial strains , r \ Our tongues wax loose and heaves th' emotional breast , Courses the blood full madly thro' the veins And fills the hasty mind with vague unrest . Eager for news we wait the long day through , Whilst rash , impetuous speech is bridled never ; For pent-up thought bids curbed words adieu

And ready eloquence flows on for ever . But we are sick of deeds of blood and death—Of men , like wolves , pitted against each other , Fighting and cursing with their latest breath , And Cain-like slaying some poor human brother . Oh I bid , Great God , this constant warring cease And grant Thy children one long reign of Peace . CHAS . F . FORSHAW , LL . D . Bradford .
