EGGLISR's oPERA-HoUSE-''THE SECRETARY"
1.-The Secretary" is palpable hit. Both yes
terday afternoon and last night English's Opera
house had very large audiences who laughed al
most eeaselessly for over two hours at one of the
best comedy productions that has been seen here
for long time. The play has been adapted
from Won Moser's ''Der Bibliotheker" by Mr..
Gillette, who, in addition to being very clever
actor is also scholar of extended attachments.
1t is bright, clear comedy in three acts, with
an Unfortunately complicated plot, good charac-
terizations, most ludcrous situations, and, above
all, it is excellently acted 1t is almost monot-
onously funny, in fact, and last night the hiar-
ity at times. became so demonstrative that
it almost interfered with the performance.
Mr.. Gillette's Rev. Job MeCosh, is highly orig
inal creation, such as those who saw him IN
1.-THE Professor" could not suspect him capable
of. His makeup his manners and his action
are inimitable. Mr.. Frank Tannehil, jrI a
young actor who is tast acquiring distinction In
the profession, was particularly good in light
comedy part, and contributed materially to the
success of the performance Mr. L. NJ. Hunters
Col. Buffum was excellent and, indeed, all the
parts were assumed in most satisfactory man
ner; particularly those by Miss Gertrude John
son and Ella Talbot, attractive looking young
women and graceful actresses, and Mr.. Morey
as the irascible Sir Henry Digby. 1.-THE Seere-
taryH will be given again tonight, tomorrow at
ternoon and tomorrow night. All those who
enjoy hearty laugh should it.
