The plays went with much more free* (lorn, and the confidence inspired by the success of the opening, produced one ot two little touches which greatly height, ened the effectiveness of the parts. "The iJest Cure" proved, again a highly en-' tei taming play, and the parts ' wer« ngnin "' cll , sustained. Miss Bedford was paid the compliment of a bouquet, m the shape of a box of chocolates.
