WILLOUGHBY-WARD COMPANY.
The WiJloughby-Ward Company will "Mr Hopkinson" in the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening. In referring to "Mr Hopkinson," a Sydney exchange says:—"This is a new three-aet comedy—one of the best things of the kind yet presented by this company,- for although it is undoubtedly farcical, it does not border on, or run over the border line of, burlesque, as some farcical comedies are wont to do. The piece is full of legitimate humour, which seem& to fall naturally into the mouths of the characters without the necessity of being "dragged in" to make the "unskilful laugh." There is a good story told, and told well; but it is unnecessary to repeat it here. Clever dialogue, gmart satire, rich humour, and some really fine character drawing with an effervescing yet consistent and most interesting plot, last night made one of the brightest evenings the Criterion Theatre has witnessed for a very long time."
