A LAUGHING ATTRACTION.

11 THE WRONG MR WRIGHT.”

The Gisborne season of the WilloughbyGeach Company starts at the Theatre Royal on Monday evening and terminates on Tuesday night, when we are to see George Broadhurst’s farcial success, “ The Wrong Mr Wright.” It would be an injustice to a genuinely' amusing piece to narrate the plot at great length. Its chief

merit lies in the constant succession of mirthful incidents, and in the rapid interchange of smart lines. Mr Singleton Sites, travelling as Adolphus Wright, is arrested on a charge of having robbed himself of fifty thousand dollars, and of having forged his own name to his own draft. The robbery has been actually committed by a clerk, who adopts the same alias, and makes for the same spot —Point Comfort 1 , near New York. What more natural than that a fascinating lady detective should track down the wrong Mr Wright, should inspire a serious passion at vory short notice, should hand him over to the police, and repent immediately afterwards, and should throw up her position in the detective force, with the prospect of a permanent matrimonial partnership with Singleton Sites'? At least, if this is not natural, it is vastly diverting. Since tho soason is limited to two nights, patrons would do well to secure their scats in advance for tho Tuesday’s attraction “On and Off,” which is said to bo even funnier than “ Wright.” The Plans are now open at Mr W. Millor’s.
