It is an old play, re written under a new name, but tho manner in which it was presented by Mario Lamour aud Frederick Murphy and their support, was a rovelatlou to local theatre-goers The play is novel, and gives room for high-class comedy, which thoso assuming the leading roles were fully equal to.
