"The Colonel" which was presented at a
matinee yesterday afternoon and again last
night, is q comedy with moral in It. That
moral is taught by opposition; that is, the
beauties OF truth are exemplihed by show
ing how many difficulties one may get in by
| the use Of falsehood however well meant
may be the diversion from the straight
path.
The company presenting the comedy is
well balanced, and does intelligent aud
pleasing WORK. Mr.. st. Msur's impersona-
ton Of the married man and guardian, who
was led astray by tale from the Arabian
Nights, was clever. He kept well to the
| character of the domestic prevaricator
even in the little speech he made between
the acts. MIR. SlssoB, as the suffering son

pursued by the Brahmin priests lead TO
many curious aud perplexing situations
The management announces il has greatly
improved the piece since it was here last,
| having added an entire new last act and
changed almost wholly the personnel of the
company. Many new, mysterious and

who comes with great reputation, is chock
| full Of new and original comedy. To those
who like pretty scenery, clever stage
mechantsms, tirst-class specialties and up

combines a constant succession OF all these
adjuncts to a pantomimic farce comedy
