ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE SQUATTER’S DAUGHTER

In such a town as Gisborne the advent of so Australian a play as “Tho Squatter’s Daughter” will, no doubt, be hailed with enthusiasm. Mr. William Anderson lias secured from two Australian writers a drama of far more than ordinary interest. It is the talo of a daughter of Australia, in a setting of her own sunny skies, and glorious bush, aud romantic glens, and wooded gullies, and pistu resque waterfalls, and around her pretty love story is woven such an atmosphere of sensation aud excitement and hair-breath, escapes that, as the plot unfolds, tho audience hangs, breathless, upon every •line. And when, as in this case, tho hero and heroine at last see’ their hopes fulfilled, aud their hearts united, and all the barriers to thenfuture happiness removed, the curtain falls iiiion a tableau truly Australian iu its picturesqueness. Mr. Anderson s enterprise in thus bringing such a play to Gisborne should-be rewarded to tho utmost,sand there is little doubt that such will be the case. The season will open to-night with “The Squatters Daughter.” To-morrow night “W hen London Sleeps” will be produced.
