We are sorry that want
of space has compelled us to omit making
mention of the establishment of a theatre
in our colony. We have paid several
visits to it and are highly pleased with the
manner in which Mr. Cameron, the proprietor,
conducts his establishment. The
Pieces that have been represented have
been got up in a creditable manner. Mr.
We must not omit to mention Mr. Bonnar,
whose representation of Baillie Nevil
Jarvie, in the operatic play of Rob Roy,
is most excellent. Mrs. Purnell, the
principal actress, evidently takes much
pains, and we predict that if she pursues
the course she has hitherto followed, she
will, ere long, take a high stand in her
profession. The scenery and decorations
are executed by Mr. Opie, and reflect
great credit on that clever young artist.
We trust that Mr, Cameron will be suc-
cessful in his undertaking.
