“THE FATAL WEDDING.”
To’-night .the Aleynoll and Gunn Dramatic Company give their second performance of “The Fatal Wedding,” when there is sure to be another crowded house. The “Kids From the Alley” will repeat tlieir great, novel, and grotesque musical performance.
On Alonday evening the company nresent the great romantic military drama, “The Midnight Wedding,” when that distinguished actor. Air. Harcourt Beatty, will make his first appearance with this company, in the character of Paul Valmar. the swordmaster of tlie Red Hussars. '“The Alidniglit Wedding” is a play of “The Prisoner of Zenda” type, and just such a play as the people love. It is interesting from the moment the curtain goes up till it falls on the final scene. Humor it lias in full measure —broad, rollicking humor, which compels laughter—yet it is not allowed to clietfk the action of the play, and is kept subordinate to the chief interest, which centres in the fortunes of Paul Valmar. Sword master of the Red Hussars, and Princess Astrea von Strclslnirg. “The Alidniglit Wedding” is an admirable and well-bal-anced romantic drama. The refinement and gracefulness of its story are .emphasised all the more by the entire absenep of sensationalism and braggadocio,”
