THEATRE ROYAL.
"THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.'
The Salsbury Troubadours played " Patchwork" and a comedietta called ihe "Rights of Women," to a moderately full house hist night. 41 The Rights of Women" is a very frail little piece, which depends entirely on the performers. The plot is as follows :—An elderly Scotch baronet, a confirmed woman hater, is reduced to subjection through the wiles of the landlady of the hotel in which he is stopping. When she has at last brought kirn to her feet she laugns at him, but finally induces him to promise that he will be courteous and polite to women in future. Miss McHenry played the fascinating hostess admirably, and Mr Gourlay, who put on a lifelike Scotch accent, made a quaint Sir Andrew. Mr Webster, as an Irish footman, provoked much laughter. "Patchwork" went as merrily as usual, and all the performers were enthusiastically applauded. Miss McHenry has greatly improved " Pretty as a Picture." All who like a good hearty laugh should see the Troubadours.
