A COMING COMEDY.

"GET RICH QUICK WALLTNOFOItD." It is not often that a person has to bo asked to leave a theatre simply because ho is enjoying the play in progress, this, wc are informed, actually happened during the Sydney season of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford," the culprit being a wellknown and respected Sydney sharebroker. During one of tho many humorous situations which occur in the piece, his loud laugh could be heard above everybwly else's, and eventually Mr. Prod Niblo (Wallingford), and the other performers cnught the infection, and joined tho boisterous gentleman who was seated in the stalls. After a' brief delay the action of the piece was proceeded with, but once again tho occupant of the stalls seat broke forth afresh, and became quite hysterical. Ultimately ns the artists could not make themselves heard, the gentleman was politely asked to retire, which he did, and the piece went on its merry journoy. Subsequently the laughing fiend was re-ad-mitted, but again hurst forth into hearty laughter, and again ho had to leave the theatre, and would not, trust himself to re-enter it. Mr. Harry Corson Clarke (Blackie Daw) is one of America's most popular comedians, and he has already become a firm favourite with Australian playgoers. Wellington-playgoers will be glad to hear of the almost electrical succais achieved by Mr. Edward Bush in the ,part of Eddie Lamb. On the ooening night of the Sydney season of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford." he at once leant from obscurity into public- favour. Only a limited number of performances can be given of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" for which the plans will be opened on Monday next.
