Show DRAMATIC NOTES. The following movements of dramatic dra-matic artists well known in thia city we extract from an Australian correspondence corres-pondence to the San Francisco -'(-jaro: George Darrell and wife were at the Queen's, (Sydney) making money, with his "Trump Cards." Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins (Florence Cjlville) previous to tho pantomime were at tho Victoria theatre (Sydney). They aro vory hitter against America. In fact, the lady wrote a letter tu the Australian saying she "saw people at Booth's theatre in Now York who would be hissed off the stage here." "Jealousy, my lady." Thcv are now in Hobart Town, Tasmania, doing well, I hepo, and bettor iippreciaU:d than in Maitland, N. S. W. Miss May Howard is in New Zealand. Zea-land. Tho Williamsons are playing in tho intorior cities with tho same marvellous marvel-lous success, and the provincial papers are -of tho same mind as the Melbourne Mel-bourne ones ns to their being remark-able remark-able artists. They have nover had in Australia any actors who have caused such an excitement. They played "Struck Oil" 64 nighta, "Kerry" 28, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Little Nell," "American Cousins "30 nights, and Mr. and Mrs. Williamson's Bhare was about 7,000 ($35,000) this is for one city. Now what do you think of your California talent? I am certain, before they leave Australia they will have netted a considerable fortune. I know of ono offer of 5,000 for the first year in England. Amy Stone and Harry are at Auckland. Auck-land. I hear they are engaged at the Theatre Royal, Melbourne. "Struck Oil' tho piece in which the Williamsons made the big hit, was played by them for the first time in the Salt Lake theatre. |
