This piece was produced again last night by
the Brough Company to a full house. Mr. Brough, as Lord Bapchild, was exceedingly amusing and kept the house in a continual bubble of merriment from start to finish. Mrs. Brough, as Constantia Gage, had not so much to do as we should have liked, but her forced love scenes with the shy and modest Bapchild were excellent pieces of acting and fairly brought down the house.
Miss Noble's Jane Nangle was a very fine exposition of the wilful girl, and very dainty he looked in her smart dresses, appearing to thoroughly enter into and enjoy her part. Her scene with George Langton at the Magpie" very hearty burst of applause at the fall of the Inn was a very realistic one and received a curtain.
