WILL OUG HIIY-G EA C H COMPANY. "TOPSY-TURVY." To-morrow (Tuesday) evening should see a bliig house 'at tha Theatre Royal, when Willoughby and Geach make a welcome appearance, alter an absence of twelve months. It will be rememWered that upon their last visit the Theatre was crowded, so intending patrons tomorrow night would do well to secure their seats in advance. Of Topsy-Turvy," the opening attraction, a contemporary savs : "Jf you have any sort of appreciation for lively comedy, you will make no mistake in goinjg to the Grand Opera House.'' It is a clean. healthy farce, and may with safety be patronised by playgoer and non-play-goer alike, and it is at piwsent the talk of Wellington, where it .is attracting enormous audiences. It, is so seldom that'we are favoured with a visit from such a brilliant comedy company, that a packed audience is assured, es|>ecially as the season of I'auig'lUer 'is limited to Tuesday.
