The play to be brought forward from the past
by the stock company at the Murray Hill is not
very old. II is "A Social Highwayman." in
which the Holland brothers were stars only
three years ago. At that time it was regarded
in high-price theatres as n strong drama OF
modern society. with a gentlemanly rogue and

characters. Robert Drouet and Walter Allen
