"THE HARBOUR LIGHTS."

Mb George Leitch and his talented com pany opened at Abbott's Opera House last evening with the new spectacular and highly sensational drama, " The Harbour Lights." Usually the name of Leitch is a guarantee of a good audience in Auckland, and the attendance last even ing fully bore out the past record. Down stairs the house was crowded, while the dress-circle was well filled. " The Harbour Lights" is the joint production of Messrs G. R. Sims and Henry Pettitb. It abounds in highly sensational incidents, and affords scope for display of varied characters, the scenes changing from the emotional to the ridiculous with pleasing rapidity. The wonderful success of this drama depends greatly upon the spec tacular part of it. The wild beauty of the scenery in many instances is very effective. The manner in which the scenos are changed is also interesting. To those who do not look too closely, it appears some what uncanny to see chairs and table quietly glide from the stage, and then the walls of the rooms revolve and discover an entirely now scene. The first scene is Redcliffe on the sea, and dis covers Captain Nelson and Dora Vane in conversation. Shortly after, the villain of the plot, Frank and Nicholas More ton, appear, and in a little while Lieu tenant David Kinpsley, R.N., rows up in a boat from H.M.S. Brittahnia. The approach of the boat and the wel come given to the tars is an effective pro duction. In the second act a rapid change is produced by the revolving process, and Captain Nelson's cottage changes into the splendidly furnished resi dence of Squire Moreland. Here it is that a tragic scone occurs, Kingsley rescuing his beloved Dora from tho hands of her would-be botrayor. The scene terminates by Mark Hclsone, the lover of Lina Nelson, who had been betrayed by More land, taking vengeance upon Moreland, whom he kills with a revolver. When the curtain fell upon this strikingly sensational scene, tho leading characters were re-called and recoived quite an ovation, Mr W. J. Montgomery (Squire Moreland) being complimented by a perfect storm of hooting. In the third act, tho dosing scene is laid on board H.M.S. Britannia.whercLiout. Franklin isdiscovered putting his blue jackets through cutlass drill. This was so welicai'ried out that the audience were loud in their applause. Tho fourth act is one series of rapid change of scenery. The first presented is in Captain Nelson's cottage. It then changes to Helstone's Hordal, and again rapidly re volves and presents the exterior of tho cottage on tho cliffs by night. Here another tragric scene occurs, which ends by Lieutenant Kingsloy going over the cliff to save Lina Nelson, who had been thrown over the cliff by Mark Helstone's mother. Almost instantly tho scone again rovolves and discloses" Kingsley on the face of the cliff. At the foot of the rocks a heavy sea is running, and in the distance is tho harbour light-house with the revolving coloured lights, while on tho horizon appear frequent flashes of light ning, presaging the coming thunderstorm. Kingsloy, descending tho face of the cliff, succeeds in rescuing Lina Nelson from tho water whore he sustains her until tho arrival of the life boat with his old boatswain Tom Dossiter in command. Thewholoofthisscono is vividly realistic and tho audience awaited tho termination with manifest interest.

Tho closing act shows the covo in tho rocks. The thunder storm is in full burst, a heavy sea is running, and as it dashes against the rocks tho spray is thrown up as tho waves recede. All nround, the harbour lights are burning the red signal of danger. Hero it is that the plot culminates in tho success of Kings ley and tho arrest of Nicholas More land for conspiracy. All ends happily and as tho band plays " Rule Brittania," tho curtain falls. A word of praiso is due to Mr A. Eady's bapd for the appropriate se lection of music which, as usual, was per formed in good style. To porform a drama embracing so much that is both sensational and emotional naturally requires a strong cast of charac ters. There aro no less than 25 named characters, besides the coastguards, tars, marines, naval reserve men, tishormen, and women, also villagers and tho life-boat crew. Mr George Leitch took the part of the typical jack tar of Maryatt's style in a manner that delighted the audionco. His humorous sayings and ridiculous antics evidently hit tho taste of thoso present, for ho kept the house in roars of laughter. Mr H. C. Sydney performed the difficult part of Lieutenant Kingslcy in a manner that speaks well for his ability, and Mr W. J. Montgomery, as Frank Moreland, ehowed a good conception of the thorough rake. His brother Nicholas received ample justice at tho hands of Mr F. Stanmaur. As the hearty Captain Nelson, Mr F. W. Clitherow appeared perfectly natural, while Mr Robert Melville as " Captain Hardy, R.N.," showed tho dignified demeanour suitable to his position in the service. " Mark Helstone," the maddened lover of Lina Nelson, was well delineated by Mr Richard Sinclair. Miss Alice Norton, as •' Dora Vane," showed considerable powers as an actress. Miss Emilie Bevan had rather a sad part to play as " Lina Nelson," still she did full justice to the character. Miss Marian Hedway had not much to do as " Mrs Helstone," but she did that little well. A word of praise is also due to Peggy Chudleioh the beloved of Tom Dossiter, while Miss Flora Anstead made an excellent virago as her mother. All the minor characters were performed in a satis factory manner by the various members of the company. The " Harbour Lights "is certainly all that has been claimed for it, being both humorous, sensational.

At the annual meeting of Otahnhu Mutual Improvement Association held on Monday evening last, the treasurer's state ment showed a credit balance of £3 6s lid. The following office bearers were elected for the ensuing session : — President, Samuel Luke, Esq., J. P. ; Vice-Presi dent, Mr A. Sheppard; hon. secretary, Mr John Mitcheil; hon. treasurer, Mr H.

It will comprise a Grand 1 Inter-colonial. Industrial Products Exhibition comprised with a Live Stock Show, and between £4,000 and £5,000 will during the hundred years that have elapsed since Captain Cook first set foot on these shores, and in order to give effect to this scheme the practical co-operation of all classes of colonists throughout Australasia is sought.

The lat ter work is designed for the Art Gal lery. The vases are large and elegant specimens of plastic art.

THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS Show the Utility of LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL, Auckland, June 14,1387. John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly rer-ommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge MeaL With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in Buch an excollent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kolumarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponson Auckland Ma 30.1887. Mr John Lamb Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that comd be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would saiisfy nini but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for nim, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything, Wishing you success,—l remain, youra, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER. Orphan Home, Parnell, May 25,1887. V Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meai, having used it for sppie time. Tho children all like the Patent Porridge Meal better than anything they have had before.
