At several of the recent performances the need of a policeman to keep order in the gallery was sorely felt. and the en- joyment of the remainder of the house seriously impaired by the unruly be- havior of the few.
 There were loud guffaws, whistling, loud bursts of conversation and gem eral buzz of noise that at times almost nut stop to the performance and quite drowned the conversation on the stage.
