THE PRUSSIAN CHOIR. TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK AT CAR- DIFF PAMDFTICON6 Herr Pareezer, who will appear at the Panopticon. Cardiff, next week with his magni- ficent dioramas and highly-accomplished Prussian. Ghoir, band, and sketch party, has had an interesting and eventful career. Although only 36 years of age, nearly every town on the Continent is familiar to him. and. what is more interesting to us. his travels in the United Kingdom have extended into all the picturesque nooks and corners of North WaleR, with the beautiful scenery o? which be .so eruuniwi! that he «'cn»u*Hy settled down at Abeiystwith, "the Queen of Welsh Watering-plams," and is now the pro- prietor of a flourishing opera-house there and w THmnmerative bill-posting business, whidh. thank* ro his energy and business capacity, IA flourishing also. One of our representatives on Friday travelled to Bridgend, where during tho past week Herr P»ree7«r has been delighting the inhabitants by las refined, instructive, and interesting entertainments, and sought, out the genial traveller for the purpose of learning from his Own lips the story of his life. The pressman was cordially received, and spent a delightful afternoon in Herr Pareezer's company. "I arrived in Eagland in the early seventies, said Herr Pareozar, as the pressman produced his notebook, "and when I came to tthis Country from Poland, where J. was born, of Jewish rparent-s, I ooiild not npeak a word of English. Undfr the tuition of ot German maBter in London, however, I soon made pro- gress, rami, although I found your language terribly hard to learn, I a* last- mastered! it." Our representative. trt-marked That. Herr Pareezor had not been guilty of any exaggera- tion in usinuf the laat phrase, because he speaks .In English as perfectly as if he were "native and to the manner born." "Having- become familiar with the Knc'Ksh language," continued, the principal of the Prussian Choir, "I took up a position under f. mill-fitting ifirm, and travelled, the large manufacturing towns of England, as their representative," "And when did you siurt your career as a public entertainer ?" "I established the Prussian Choir in 1889. and since then have given entertainments in all parts of England1, Ireland, and Wales. The choir has been a great success, and we have young ladSea of several nationalities travel- ling with us, including many Welsh girls." "You have, you say, been generally success- ful in your work ?" "Distinobly so. Without undue egotism, I think I can say fchia.t any entertainments havs succeeded 'fcrinmiplhantly all- a4ong the line. eulc^iee having poured in from all. sorts and iuchidinsr clergymen, Wett- leyanis, CongregBttonalirite, Roman Oatthoftcp, Baptists, Presbyterians, a'd others, whose adapirBitiop. for these entertainment^ has been fxpreased in no unstinted, terms. Iraideed. I have me* with wonderful kindness, from vast numbers of clergymen and ministers sod lead- ing citizens all over the land." "The dioramas have been very greatly ap- preciated as modes of educating the people, then?" "Oh, yes. You see, I act as guide to brighten the journey each evening with anec- dote and chatty description; but my talk is always instructive. When we speak of the pictures thrown upon the screen, descriptions must necessarily fall short of the reality; and I can only advise those who want, to know f.o what excellence the photographer's art has teen carried to visit my pictorial exhibitions, where the exquisite beauty of the weirdest, Wildest, and most lovely scenery and archi- tecture of the world is depicted with a faith- fulness of colouring and outline second only to the great artist, Mother Nature herself." "How do the members of your choir like the life?" "They enjoy it very much. We are like cne large family, and we are all very happy together. At one time I had several gentle- men in the company, but the choir is now without them, as the young gentlemen would fall in love with the young ladies, and we had two weddings in six months." "I suppose you have had some fur.ny expe- riences in the course of your travels?" "Yes, quite a catalogue of them; but I cannot re-call them all to mind on the spur of the moment. On one occasion we had to travel a distance of ten miles, and the mem- bers of the choir occupied a specially-retained carriage. During a break in the journey we wera put into a siding, and the railway officials forgot all about us. When the wait became a little bit tedious I left the carriage, and asked the rail- way people how it was that the train that was to take us on had not arrived,and then I dis- covered the true position of affairs. It took us five hours to travel those ten miles. At one plfice in the North the enthusiasm of intending patrons was so great that they broke down the doors of the hall and tried to get in through the windows. That night a large number of the audience had to be accommodated with seate on the platform, and there was hardly room for my artistes to move. On another occasion the curtains on the stage caught fire, and there might have been a serioue panic if it had not been for the presence of mind of a gentleman in the audience, who jumped up on the stage and tore the burning curtains down before the audience had recovered from the shock." Speaking of this country, Herr Pareezer said, England, God bless it. It is the country of freedom and toleration. and I hope it may be my abidinw place for the remainder of my life. I should like to say." continued the entertainer, "that, I was much struck with Cardiff on my first visit to it the other day. It is the most prosperous town in Wales, and. I congratulate to* inhabi- tants upon their extraordinary business capacity." In the course of further conversation Ro!l"1' Pareezer said that the late Sir Joseph Monte- fiore wad a personal friend of hie, and that he was in possession of letters fflpm Sir Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Tarry, Marie Rose, and other great artistes of the theatrioaJ world. Although born ct Jewish parenti;, Herr Pareezer is a Christian, having converted to Chris- tianity at CheeterneH, mainly through the instrumentality of Messrs. Fullerton and Smith, two of Mr. Spurgeon's evangelists. This was in 1883. The effect of this step was electrical in Jewish circles, and it. resulted in the ret.un- ration of Herr Pareezer by his parents, rela- tives, and friends.

CARDIFF GRAND THEATRF. VISIT OF HARDIE AND VON. LEER'S "THE PLUNGER. Mr. Victor Steven's successful comedy, "The Village Venus, will be followed next week at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, by the production of tbat. wall-known and highly popular American melodrama, entitled "The I Plunger." The piece is a portrayal of the sensational incidents which' surround the life of the hero of the plot, "Walter Glydon," which role is admirably filled by Mr. Julius Roys- ton. The other characters in the play are sustained by a well-balanced company, which is under the direction of Messrs. Frank A. Gorden and Haldane Crichton. "THE NEW WOMAN-' AT SWANRE1 THEATRE. On Monday next Swansea playgoers are to have a treat in the shape of a visit from Comyns Can's Company in the "New Woman," by Sydney Grundy. We have so recently eulogised the play and this particular company on its visit to Cardiff, that further words are hardly needed. The caustic wit and satire of Mr. Grundy's attack on the "new woman" has deliglhted London and sealed the fate of the creature in question. The com- pany includes Mr. R. S. Boleyn, Mr. Henry Arncliffe, Mr. Charles Calvert, Miss Laura Graves, &c., who are well-qualified to take part in what the "Telegraphcalled "the spanking race for conversational fame" fur- nished by this brilliant comedy.

Kitty Faced the Storm SIXTEEN DAYS ON A SHIP'S FIGUREHEAD. How the Maria L.'s Mascot W.4 thered a Hurricane Clinging to Minerva's Helmet. To see Kitty—the Maltese cat of the barque Maria L.—now, nobody would: imagine that she had only a few weeks ago undergone an experience which entitles her to rank as tha feline Dr. Tanner. She is sleek, round, and playful, and she purred most amiably when a reporter stroked her on the back while she was lapping- a saucer of milk. "I wouldn't give Kitty for a smaM fortune, said Captain Durso. "I think she's one of "the i most remarkable cats living. She has had more, adventures than perhaps any other of her tribe, but. the lasi one was undoubtedly the most memorable of the Jot. "You see, it ba.ppened this way. We sailed I from Tarragona July 27, and were three weeks out when: a terrific storm arose. This raged with almos* unabated fury for sixteen dlayg. Aftw 5& subsided I took an inventory of the missing, hut the only thing gone was Kitty. We aaaa-chedi high and Âow-i n the shrouds* between decksi—everywhere, but Kitty was no- where -0 he found. I concluded that she had been swept overboard during the storm, par- ticularly as one of the sailors told! me that he had seen her backing in the sun less than half an hour before the storm broke loose. The suddenness of the squall. I thought, bad taken Kitty unawares, and the first lurch of the ship j had consigned her to a watery tomb. The day following- the storm was so sunny and balmy that, but for the mountainous sweep of the waves, which were still fretting from the lashing they had received, we oould scarcely realise what danger we had just emerged from. "While I 'was taking my luncheon, Tony. the cabin boy, came running in, shouting, 'Kitty has been found.' Sure enough, there was Kitty, lying half dead on the deck, while the sailorft were grouped around administering milk and stroking her fur an gently as sentimental girls. UH seems that one of the men, while sitting in the prow of the ship, heard a plaintive sound coming from beneath the boom.Looking over, he: saw Kitty stretched out in the angle formted by the projecting figure-head. The cat was frightfully emaciated. She lay on her back. Her eves were glazed, and every now and then: 1 she utt-ened a scarcely audible ory. She made no effort to clutch a. rope which was lowered to her, and so the man went over and freed her, from her perilous position. It is probable that Kitty jumped from the boom to the figure-head: just before the storm. But when the squall • came the leap back was too d^p-Arous, and so she olung to the back of Minerva, the figure-head, all during the sixteen days' storm. She could. 1 not have had a mouthful of food in all that time, j and she must have concentrated all her strentfdn £ during the whole period on retaining hw.) M hold." d1 ?1??
