Montgomery’s Company
THE LATEST DETECTIVE DRAMA. Mr Charles Frohman, the successful American proprietor, has recently added another to his already long list of triumphs with “ Raffles,” the latest detective drama, founded upon tales contributed to a popular magazine by the well-known author Mr E. W. Homing. Raffles, who is ably assisted by his pal Bunny, is a man of good education and good manners, has as his sole excuse for a cracksman’s career, an impulse to steal. He steals, not for profit, but for the mere pleasure of outwitting the police, and having enjoyed the sport, it is his custom, we are told, to return the stolen property -to. its owners. He has so much delicacy of feeling, that it is a wonder he has so little consideration for the peace of mind of his victims, or for the rights of hospitality, which he abuses so shamelessly, in the first act, when he leaves Lord Amersteth’s house with a diamond necklace belonging to one of the guests in his pocket. . A-complete , pictorial representation of the dramatic production of Raffles in 18 different scenes, will be exhibited by Mr Edmund Montgomery at Foxton on Saturday night next.
