SURREY TB EAT.Rg.

Last evening this theatre was filled to overflowing to
witness the revival of a very favourite melodrama, en-
titled the " Flower Girl," which was not long since pro-
duced here with great effect. It has been reproduced
with great care, and Mr. Creswick has heightened its
attraction by assuming the character of the hero, Michael
Cranou, the Convict Marquis, a capital part, to which
he gives great effect by his bold, broad, vigorous melo-
dramatic acting. Miss Marriot, as Madelon, the Flower
Girl, is pleasing and interesting Her mad scene in the
last act is really pathetic. Mr. Widdicombe (the Wright
of the Surrey) kept-the house roars, of. laughter by
his facetice, and the whole reception of the piece showed
that it will have another run as long as the laet.
