PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

An adaptation of the amusing French vaudeville
Les Deux Brigadiers, was produced here on Saturday
evening under the title of the Life Guardsman, with
the most complete success. The scene is transferred
to England, and the Duke of Marlborough is the
great man to whose fortunes the plot of the farce re•
lates, instead of Cardinal Dubois, as in the French
version. Thus runs the plot of the Princess's ver-
sion :—Jacob Pounce and Tapeworm (Messrs. J. W•
Ray and Wynn), confidential secretaries to
the Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of
Oxford, are engaged in effecting the disgrace of the
Duke by attempting to get possession of certain
letters of his proving a treacherous corre -
spondence with the French Court. These letters are
supposed to have got by some mysterious means into
the custody of Miss Mary Middleton (Miss L.
Howard), and the secretaries hope to obtain them by
marrying the young lady to Peter Pounce (Mr.
Honey), a sergeant in the Coldstream Guards, to
whom, in conjugal confidence, she shall be induced to
deliver them, But Jack Gorget (Mr. A. Wigan),
a dashing Life Guardsman, is ordained to frustrate all
this scheming, and by personating the other sergeant,
by wooing and marrying Miss Mary himself, and by
outwitting the wily secretaries in all their plottings,
he succeeds in postponing the discomfiture of the
Duke. The action of the piece is bustling, and the
dialogue lively, and there are several good situations
evolved. The piece was capitally played by every-
body concerned, and was throughout favourably
received by the audience.
