LILLIPUTIAN OPERA ROUFFE COMPANY.

The first appearance of the above company in Auckland, aflor fcbolr tour of India, takes placo on Monday next, and as there have been a variety of reports published re garding what took place on that tour and feho way in which tho children aro treated, it will interest our reader? to loam from tho stage manager (Mr Tom Pollard) the actual facts of the case. The gentleman named was interviewed on arriving in Adelaide by n reporter of "Tho Evening Journal," and from the report of the interview we quote. After giving a history of tho origin of tho troupe, Mr Pollard gave the following particulars of Tho Trip to India.

After the Company's last visit to New Zealand, they went through Tasmania, Victoria, and Now South Wales to Queens land, and after spending a season there they emburked in the Quotta at Townsville for Batavia. At liatavia they transhipped into tho King William 111. for Singapore, and proceeded to the Malay Settlements and to British Burmah, whoro they performed. From Uurmab they went to Calcutta, where thoy played for a season at tho Corinthian Theatre. They spent a fortnight in Allah abad, and thon returned to Calcutta, from whence they went back to Burmah and the Malay Settlements. They eventually re embarked at Singapore, and landed once more in Townsville, after an ausenco from Australia of about eleven months. The tour was a great success, and was much enjoyed by tho children, who re ceived many marks of favour from the nobility and gentry of Calcutta. But a shadow was cast over their pleasures by the serious misfortunes which happened to them. While in Rangoon, Mr Jim Pollard, who had taken an important part in the management of the Company, met with his death. It has been stated that he com mittod suicide, but this his brother Tom emphatically denies. "-Jim," he said to mo, '.'always had a strange fancy for lire arms ; and while he was in British Burmah he carried them, because he was afraid of the blacka. One night, after he had ro tired, he appeared to have hoard something which alarmed him. He took a revolver in his hand, and went on to the staircase to reconnoitre. The staircase was slippery, Jim fell on it, and the revolver went off accidentally, discharging the bullet clean through his head. It has been said he committed suicide, and that on someformer occasion he attempted to take his own life ; but this is not true. I am sure he did not commit suicide, because when I left him on this night lie was in the very best of spirits." While the Company was in Cal cutta Mr Pollard, Ben., took seriously ill with dropsy, He survived the royagehome, and at Tovroivillo he died, at the age of 80 years. The Company has since been under the sole charge of Messrs Tom and Charles Pollard, sons of the decoded, who had previously been entrusted with tho manage ment, and had contributed largely to the success achieved. How tho Children are Obtained.

" How aro the children obtained ?" I aßked Mr Tom Pollard. " Well," he said, " we have a permanent troupe of about 25 children, and they have been obtained from Victoria, South Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania. They form tho nucleus and play the leading parts. Then we require a large number of children to appear on the stage and to sing in the choruses, and for these we advertise at the various towns to which wo go. Tho latter are only engaged temporarily, but if any of them show ability, and wish to take to the thing as a profession, we may retain their ser vices. Some of the members of the permanent troupe have been with us from the commencement, and the whole of them have been with us on the average about two years. We have now in the troupe five boys and twenty girls, and their ages range from about 13 to 15 years. We never take a child without the consent of its parents, and we have a written agreement with the parents of each of tho children in our troupe. If a child applies to us for an engagement, we ask the child to speak to her parents on tho subject. If the parents are willing, they must come and see us. We then draw up a formal agreement, and this document must be signed by the father, if he is living ; if not, by the mother. We are very particular about this, and if the father wero living we would not take the signature of the mother."

Tho Treatment of tbo Children. " Somo of the children," said Mr Pollard, "are engaged for one year, some lor two yeara, and som9 for four years. We under take not only to teach them their profession, but also to educate them, to provide them with all that they require, and at the end of their term of engagement to return them to their homes. Complaints have been mado that we took the children out of Australia without the consent of their parents. The agreements made contained no stipulation upon this point, but it waf our intention, and we thought it was under stood that thoy should go with us wherever we went. When tkey were in Indis they were treated very well, and tho children will gay so if they are questioned on the subject. In Calcutta we had our own mansion, our own servants, and our own carriage. The children fre quently went out for drives, and they were invited to picnics by eomo of the loading residents of the place. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ripon took an interest in them, and tho Du^e of Connaught, who visited India at the time, wrote a letter ex pressing regret at his inability to be present at ono of their performances. Statements have been made as to the dress provided ft r the chidlren, but of course no one would wear the eamo clothes in India as he would here. It has been said that there was sick, ness amongst the children, but nothing of a serioua nature occurred. It is a common thing for a person while in India to foel feverish at night and to be all right again on the following morning. Some of tho children wrote letters to their parents, in which thoy inado complaints as to the treatment thoy received. My own opinion is that they wrote to suit their mcthers, Sinco our return three children have left us, but thsy have all expressed their willingness to return, and have said that they were w»9ll treated when with ui>, One of them paid she complained because she had not received the samo dolman as the other girle. You can soo for yoursolf," said Mr Pollard, calling my attention to a number of the girls who wero playing tho piano and singing in tho hotel in which the interview took place, " how we treat the children. Tho system we adopt is very similar to that of a boarding-house. We live together whono.pr we can, but the male and the female portions of tho Company are al ways kept separate. The life of tho children is this. They riso in the morning before half-past S, and have their breakfast. Some of them thon go to tho piano for practice, and at about half-past 10 o'clock they go to re hearsal, which keeps them busy until about 1 o'clock. After dinner they have two hours good schooling, and thon they are allowed to go out for walks, under the charge of an elderly person. At about 7 o'clock they go to the theatre for the evening's perfor mance. They are kept well under control, and every precaution is taken to keep them from temptation. We have had no difficulty with any of them, and we have always found them to be well behaved. They will not speak to a stranger without an introduction, and they aro yojj quick to resent any undue familiarity towards them. How do we punish them? Well, Jf thoy misconduct themselves in any way we will not allow them to play their parts. That is tho worst punishment wo can inflict upon them. All tho parts are duplicated, and we are therofare able to provide a substitute when ever circumstances may render it neces sary."

When at Melbourne recently, the Com pany was disbanded and re-organised, Mrs Pollard retiring, while Messrs Chas. and Tom Pollard assumed full control, with Mr KUts as manager. Sinco then the troupe have been moet prosperous, and now come to Auckland after a successful tour of the Southern portion of New Zealand.

The Otahuhti Mutual Improvement Asso ciation has outlived many kindred societies, and the forthcoming session promises to be no less successful than former ones. Such a Society as this, in which old and young of all classes meet together to discuss social and political problems in a spirit of mutual forbearance, and to hear or take part in en taining and instructive readings, recita tions and essays, not only helps its mem bers to pass many pleasant eveningfi, but no doubt .oxerciscs a widening and liberal ising influence upon their views, The ses sion opens on Monday evening pext.

Mr y ßathgate's notion of a State Bank .of New Zealand is working its way to thfl front. Dunedin Chamber of Commerce on Friday resolved to memorialise the Govern. ment in order that a Parliamentary Commit toe may be appointed to investigate tho vhole subject of the currency and the practice of banking within the colony.
