PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.
We were very much gratified to see such an excellent attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, the lower part ef the house being filled, and the circle being Very fairly attended. When such pieces as " Never too late to Mend" are produced we think the management will have no cause to bomplain of the patronage bestowed upon the theatre. Mr. O'Brien has long endeavoured to produce good pieces, and with no little expense to himself, and we must congratulate that gentleman on the success he made last night. The plot of the piece is too well-known to aeed any description from us, suffice it to say that from beginning to end the piece was an unequivocal success. Mr. O'Brien, as Tom Robinson, was really a clever piece of acting; it is seldom we have seen this gentleman in a more suitable part, in many scenes playing with great feeling. We do not wish to individualise any oiJier members of the company, as one and all played capitally, and we have not available space to go into criticism. The drama is to be produced to-night, and we strongly urge on all to pay a visit to the Prince of Wales Theatre to witness " It is Never too late to Mend."
