" AFTER DARK AT THE THEATRE —Mr Lester Collingwood and his dramatic end variety company are occupying the beards of this theatre with Dion Boucicault's favontite drama "After Dark." The plot of this piece is sensational enough, inasmuch as it inciudot attempted suicide of a deserted wife by ildurig off Lambeth Midge, a villainous scheme t) fraud a young lady, a plot to murder an &lice. and his rescue by a broken-down drueharil. Beyond this, however, it possesses an interest peculiar to itself, because in its evolution we are taken in the first place into the roosting-p!acesof the night-birds of the city, and iu the howe,d place-allowed a peep into a metropolitan moo hall of the old style. The variety entertaMineet is chiefly supported by Miss Bessie Thcmipsoo, a somewhat sprightly vocalist, and by the three, Phydoras, who are excellent pantomimist); "4 contortionists. The play is mounted with lel great care, and some of the scenery-- cspeciallf that of the Thames at night—and mechanic*, efforts—such as the railway express—are wertil of much admiration. -Mr Lester Cola wood imparts to the character of ‘; .'" Chttmley a patriotic and noble le :trig, which forms a welcome telief to the villainy 0, Chandos Bellingham as depicted by Mr H. It Kirwan. The best that can be said of Mr Manning's assumption of the role of ,Sir Geo.-g 5 Medhurst is that it is natural. Ohl 7'ont finds a worthy representative in Mr F. C. Hudson. Tigi unsckupulous Dicey Morris is the model of a Seven Dials Jew as portrayed by Mr Harry Canel Eliza, the discarded wife, ulthnately restored to her proper sphere when the inachinatio:ii of the conspirators have been expos is very faithfully delineated by Miss Lizzie Longmore; and the Rose of Miss Emily FitsroY is a creditable representation. There is plenty of lively action in the play, and the interest !I gonrnoattthalleef uodlwe nouetod et Mr elranipt tle9l et“we btoca able to obtitin ereral seasons ptv seloSlanya tctilkCttolhanerapfneallcoeploeffoorutghphert i oc.'oirditaile them with a higher quality of drama than gn  NG AT
