The Theatre.

"Tbe Private Secretary" a laughable
comedy which is now ENJOYING a run in
New York, was charmingly presented BY a
Madison-Squarc Theatre Company at the
Richmond Theatre last evening. There
was q large and fashionable audience pre-
sent, and the enjoyment seemed general
and almost unbounded Throughout.
The play is a siDgularIy original English
comedy, replete with laughable situations.
IL possesses the great merit OF being very
funny without once becoming too broad.
The company is tirst-class IN every re-
spect, and the perfor nance was given with
a smoothness that was simply delightful.
As "Rev. Robert Spauldin, the Private
Secretary" Mr.. Leonard Grover gave de-
cidedly clever impersOnation. In many
unfortunate and ludicrous situations in
which the unsuspecting and simple
m nded gentleman vas placed by
the pranSs of young Douglas in the
course Of sowing his wild oats were
given with naturalness that was truly
lifelike and iuimitable; while Mr.. Pitt,
Mr.. Kennedy, Miss Gallagher. Miss Cross
man, Miss Addison, and, in fact. the cutie
company. gave each most excellent por-
travail OF the respective roles entrusted TO
them. Little Mr.. George Bruening, who
appeared here before as Buttons" re-
ceiyed marked recognition from the audi
epce last evening in the character OF
"John. the FO0tman.'
As stated above, the play was delight
fully given. The Suggesting, costumery,
and all were features unusually pleasing.
1.-THE Private Secretary will berepeated
tonight, and il Is but fair TO suppose the
Theatre will be filed from pit to dome.
