M'VICKER'S THEATRE,

A spectacular play, pretty we'll Known to
steady theatro-goers. llas been put on tue boarda
for this uoek by 5tr. alcVlcker. It IL entitled
''Tho Sea OF Icc.' A spectacle 1t certainly Is,
but not much of a play. Tho action Is brokon, tho
motive secret, and tho moral incompreLensible.
