AT LONDON THEATRES.

All the London theatres continue to
play to crowded houses, and new pieces
are RAPIDLY making their appearance.
The most notable Of these is ]. NJ. Bar
rie's The Willing Guest" which was
produced for the first time at the Gar
rick theatre Thursday evening.
It is the old story Of the betrayal Of
an innocent Scotch lassle by an artist,
with this new feature that he prom
ises his victim. who processes TO have
lost her love for him. that he will never
marry another woman. He breaks his
promise and the usual dramatic expo
sures follow. ending in the philosophic
determination Of both women concerned
10 make the best of bad job. It was
well received and contains delightful
touches Of humor and some particularly
strong scenes.
The critics differ in their opinions,
several maintaining that the material
would make a good book. but that It
shows Barrie's weakness as a play
wright. However It is an assured
success. H. B. Irving and Violet Van
brugh have the leading parts. 1t was
prophesied that it would be impossible
for two Nell Gwynn plays to appear
in London at the same
time, but Sweet Nell Of Old Drury"
at the Haymarket and "English Nell"
at the Prince Of Wales theatre are
receiving excellent patronage.
