Particular mention should bo made of Major Mucready not only for his excellent acting but for the man- inor in which the pioco was pro- ducod. Ho was ably supported by the other members of the cast, and at the close many bouquets, boxes of chocolates and othor gifts were, handed over the foot- lights to those who had made the play such a success.
