The London News says: ga novel feature
in the vouchers for booked places at the new
Savoy Theatre deserves noting. The half of
the ticket to be retained bears on the back
plan of the house, ON which the division OF
seats into rows and the number of each place
is clearly printed. Thus the visitor, knowing
beforehand precisely where he is to sit, can go
to his place without risk of those little mis-
takes and delays which are apt to cause con-
fusion and annoyance about the time of the
rising of the curtain.
"Royal YOUTH to be produced at Days,
New York, is primarily the work of Alexan-

sells it was brought out with success. Finally,
in 1874, nineteen years after it was written,
and three years after the author was dead, his
son, Alexandra, touched up the play here and
there, and Superintended Its production at the
Odeon, where it had long run.
