A very interesting littiiionot piece was played
at this theatre for the _tarot tithe list sight, sailed du
Episode is the Life of is Cosy Couple. It is capitally
written, end was very well acted. If It had not been so, it
would not have kept the =diem* amused and interested,
as it did, for three-quarters of an hoar, as of plot sad Wi-

=gulag of Mr. sad Mrs. Dormouse is broken la apes by
the sudden snivel of Tom Ileassiton, a elms of Dorreeess's

inv. and activity, stimulates Dormouse to agree
