l Russells comedians presented that ex- treme of farce conception "The City Direc- tory" to an audience which completely filled the large auditorium last evening. The humor of the play is rich, the action spirited, the dialogue bright and breezy. The situations are so laughable that the audience could not restrain themselves and involuntarily were forced to give expres- sion to their feelings in rapturous ap- plause. Every member of the cast covered themselves with glory, and the return en- l gagement of the company will be eagerly | awaited.
