 -The severe storm Monday night prevent ed large attendance at Armory Hall to see ''Our Boys by the Perley Company. We are very sorry that the elements should have been unproptious, for it seldom happens that inland towns have the opportunity to enjoy so really good an entertainment.
 Our Boys" is to us a new comedy, but we consider it an exceedingly good one; we do not remember any play in which the fun is better sustained throughout than in this. The characters are excellently drawn, and the ac- tors succeeded most admirably in ''holding the mirror up to nature" We are unable to con- ,ceive more perfect or a mere amusing repre- sentation than Belinda" by Miss Sallie Par tington. Mir. l.. F. Howard, as "Mr. Mid ,dewick," kept the house while he was on the stage in almost constant laughter. MT. Colin Stuart as Talbot Champneys," gave an excellent representation. So we'll sustained praise in attempting to criticise the performers m further detail. Much poorer acting is often seen in the theaters of our large cities.
 This company played here again, on Tues day evening; but, owing to the detention of one of their troupe on the shepaug road, they had to drop the play they had intended giving, and substitute others. As necessary conse- quence, the performance was not as good as the one of Monday evening.
