Forthcoming Dramatic Recital: An intellectual treat is promised in the dramatic recital by Mr. James Wheeler, announced to take place at the Portland Hall on Wednesday evening next, the 26^th inst. under the auspices of Mr. H. Austin Storry. To those who have known and appreciated Mr. Wheeler’s talent in Shakespearian and other roles on the London State, notable at Drury Lane and St. James’s Theatres, and are also acquainted with his rendering of selections from the immortal Dickens, will welcome the opportunity of again hearing him, and those to whom Mr. Wheeler may be a stranger are now afforded the opportunity to repair that omission before his retirement from the public stage, which we understand is imminent. Mr. Wheeler has generously promised to devote the net proceeds of the recital to the Fund for renovating the organ of St. Michael’s Church, and Miss Clarice May and Miss Maud Pinsent have kindly given their services in connection with the musical items of the programme, in which they will be assisted by Captain C. H. Hannington.
