"THE CAY GORDONS."

Brightness and light-hen rtednesa, en chautmg scenes and sparkling melody, gay costumes and feminine comeliness, charm mg' situations and irresponsible frivolity, ail the concomitants ’that one delights i;i finding in theatrical cntcrtainWnt are, said to be found harmoniously blended in “The Gay Gordons,” to be presented by Clarke and Mcynell’s New Comic Opera Company, for one night only at the' Opera House, to-morrow night. “Peggy Quaintbn” is the daughter of an American mi - lionaire. To test; the genuineness of her suitors, she changes place with tho daughter of a Punch and Judy professor, and assumes the role of a penniless maiden. “Angus Graeraa,” who believes himself out of sorts with fortune, falls in love with ’the pretty little deceiver. The customary honeyed nothings arc whispered into each other’s ears, and the inevitable promise of marriage is the result. The young lady swears that she will never marry a nobleman, little dreaming of the complications she is creating. Happy and contented, she flies off to her home, just as the announcement is made to Angus that ho is, tho Earl of Meltrose, with an income of .£150,000 a year. There is a tangled skein to be straightened, and the curtain falls .with all, misnuderstandin-s swept awav. Th ehox plan is rapidly filling at H. I. Jones and Sons’, and the wisdom of bookinng their seats will probably commend itself to prudent theatre-goers.
