The piece staigcd was the sensational play " Home Kiule," abounding in stirring scenes, and enlightened by many imuiil'estations of the better side of human nature. The stag« effects were all that could be tlesiix v d, and the acting by all engagud /(illy mamtai'ived the high' staiu'duncl the coml'UJi.V has achieved for itself. In the principal parts Miss Ella Carrington and Mr (Jhas. Taylor were particularly goad, Willie the efforts of Mr 0. M. Keegan, in the rale of W-bipco ij'oyle, the villain, earned for him the opprobrium of the gods—a sufficient guarantee of the realistic quality of his acting. "MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB." To-night the company will close their season by appearing j n a stare adaptation of " The Mystery of a Hansom Cab." Fergus Hume's sensational nuvel lends itself a'dniirablv o dramatisation. It abounds with Umllmjr sensations, aJRI the plot is interwoven with an element of mystery that irresistibly appeals to the average I'mlavi'dual.
