ropoi1tan last night by Walter Walker
and Narde & SacSett's comedians. The
play has been seen here before, but it was
produced by an inferior company. Last
night the situations were well brought
out. the only fault being that the actors
yielded to the almost irresistible tempta-
ton to overdo the comedy parts.
The basis of the play is the secret mar

comes to his house. The dialogue *
bright and the situations are humorous
though perhaps they are not entireIv

scenes never partake OF vulgaritv or
coarseness.
The honOrs of the evening were won nv
