urday afternoon, with THE Ceisha" on the re-
naming evenings Of the week and Wednesday after

day evening, February s. and Will be repeated on
Wednesday and Friday evenings OF that week Ono
performance OF Much ADO" the final one. will be
given in that week on Saturday afternoon.
1.-The Magistrate" Is play OF a farccal sort.

trashy kind that is naturally brought to mind by
the term farce 1t deals with the amusing troubles
of a police magistrate who has married widow
with son OF nineteen years She has wickedly
represented her age to be five years less than II
really is and has sunk her sons age from nineteen
to fourteen TO correspond. When one is only nine
teen difference Of five years way or the other
is OF no small consequence, and hence compca
tions.
