small degree TO the Iightness of touch by which
Mr. Hawtrey indicates and interprets a most
! humorous situation. Mr.. Gillette is a fair ex-
| change for Mr. Hawtrey. and London playgoers
| have no ground for complaint in being deprived

| Henry Irving is unique figure on the stage.

absence, varied and interesting as is the pro-
gramme of the season now opening. L. NE
