A REMARKABLE PLAY.. Miss Clemence Dane's very human play, "A Bill of Divorce- men:" which has been running for so long at the St. Martin's Theatre, is to be presented by the Warwick Comedy Company to night at the Theatre Royal.
Playgoers will recollect that it was presented here during the previous visis of the company. On that occasion it met with such a fine reception that Mr. Warwick has decided to include, it in the repertoire for this season on account of the numerous requests he bas received for & repetition. The play is undoubted- ly a very unusual one. It gives magnificent scope for Sne acling, notably on the part of Mr. N.
