SONG, STAGE, AND STORY.
The 'Case of Rebellious Susan' ends at Sydney Lyceum on Friday, and on Friday week the Brough-Boucicault season also terminates. Both these events are cause for serious regret. The last week of the season is to be filled in with 'An Ideal Husband,' a play which has boomed considerably in a certain small island off the coast of France, and which is the work of Oscar Wilde, now unfortunately in gaol. This gentleman's name appeared on the preliminary advertisements, but when he got into gaol, the name was removed, and 'An Ideal Husband' appears in the advt. without an author. 'The Bulletin,' however, believes in giving every man credit for his work, therefore, it takes this opportunity to mention that the new play is by Oscar Wilde.
