HnoLEY'S OPERA E0CSE.
A very 1arge audience Was precent iass oSen-
ing at Hooley's, on the occasion OF the f1at pre-
sontation OF new comedy entitled " fai5e
enanoe," the work OF q London author, o1f.
Frank Marshall, who has achieved the signal
triumph OF producing play which "as at once
received as one Of the best Of modern comedies,
and one worthy to bo classed with those Of Rob-
,rtson and Albery. " false Shame" came
highly recommended, and it may be set down as
valuable addition to tho scantv list
OF really excellent modern comedies. really |
excellent play it is both in the interest which is
excited BY the story, and in the skillfu1 group
ing OF the incidents and situations. The din
1ogue Is exceeding neat at all times, with happy
flashes OF briiancy plentifu1ly inte1apread. For
q sketch of tho plot Of "Fa1so Shame" We can
not do better than to give the following from
tho London Times
The story follows tho fortunes Of Magdaten AtheT
