THORNTON COMEDY COMPANY.
This highly successful company appear 1 at the Theatre Riyal and it will be surprising indeed if they are not favoured with a crowded house. " Facing <he Music" is one of the mgat laughable omeiits imaginable, and yet, to anyone who knows the meaniag 'of a London fl*t, tin situations are quite within the bounds of possibility Mr Thornton, as the muih misunderstood John Smith, has a part which fi's him like a glove, and, wi h to experienced an actor, nit a punt is lost, In the last act, whe r e, owing to the insurmountable difficulties of his position, ha suddenly and temporarily bjC">mes demented, hs displays bistrioair I talent of a very high or 'e'. The scene 'is most dramatic, and Tiever fails to bring down the bous Mr John Dm- . ton, as the Rev J>hn Smith, is an ex c Heat c uoterfoil. The lidi s are all good. The three act c >medy in preceded by a very clever musioil f*rce, ," A Test Hatch." S cleve.* soogs by Mr VVi'sin, a popular baritoce, and others give an additional charm to the entertainment, which bids fair to be one of tha best of its kind that his been staged here.
