Buiwer Lytton's "Richelles," as formed by Mr. Mila's Company, was one of the most symmetrical performances that this organization has given here. The play proceeded from begin. ning to end without a single bitch or interruption audience, together with its enthusiasm, proved of any kind, and the rapt attention of the the strength of the company le its interpretation of the play.
