Sutton made hi? debut as "Tuppeit," acquitting himisell creditably. Mr J; Gray as the country yokel, "Tom Strut," also give a splendid interpretation. The fun of the piece centred round "Lmv cher,' and Mr Harry Hall was qu'tc in his element. His; acting was bright and witty, and his flow of witticisms did not permit of a moment of monotony. All the choruses were excellently rendered, and special mention should be made of ' lire Opening Chorus," "Lads and Lasses," "The Hunting Ohonus," and "Vision* Bright." The dances, which were a feature of the production, were both daincy ana bright and graceful, and la! praise is due to the instructress, Alise \ . The orchestra helped materially w> male•? th- production the success it p:5-od. : Special mention should also be made cf the realism given, to the • hunting.scene by the-introduction of -the luunds on the stage by Mr Tas.
