“THE MIDNIGHT WEDDING”

TO-MORROW (WEDNESDAY). The box plan for the return season of Mr Harcourt Beatty and Messrs Meyuoll and Gunn’s famous‘‘Fatal Wedding” Company has been opened since Tuesday last, aud a large number of seats have already been reserved at Mogridgo’s. The com* pauy appear to-morrow (Wednesday) evening in the great military spectacle play ‘‘The Midnight Wedding,” for one night only, ,iu addition to which will be revived also the famous children's musical scene from the ‘‘The Fatal Wedding” by the 30 tiuy favourites iu new musical features. Referring to the production of ‘‘The Midnight Wedding,”. iu which Mr Harcourt Beatty will appear as Paul Valmar, swordmastef of the Red Hussars, a contemporary says: ‘‘No better play than ‘‘The Midnight Wedding” Las been seen on the stagg of the Theatre Royal for a long time. It is instinct with dramatic fervour, there are no strained unnatural situations, but real life-like scenes that stir the blood aud make one .feel the exhilarating glow that is inspired by the highest emotions. The "play is called romantic, aud romantic it is iu the highest and best sense of the term, for one lives in it and breathes the atmosphere of chivalry and hoars the rattle of sabres, aid sees the soldier going like a knight errant of old, through many stern trials for the sake of his lady-love.”
