"THE MORALS OF MARCUS."

':'■ There was an excellent bouse at His Majesty's last night when "The ; Morals of Marcus" was repeated) by the Flemming Company. The piece . went very well throughout, the performances of Miss Guildford Quinn as Carlotta arid Mr Homewood ac Sir j ; Marcus again being noticeable for -iheir artistic completeness. To-night "Olivia," a dramatisation of Goid>emith's "Vicar of Wakefield," will be produoed. The performances of "Olivia" in the Old Country have always been •assoeiatod .with the names of. Sir Henry Irving and Muss Ellen Torry in the leading characters, and it is a matter cf congratulation, to Australasian playgoers that Mr Flamming 'was on the death of the great attcr, to negotiate with has. executors for the rights to perform this famous play. Mr Herbert Memming will appear as the Vicar and Miss Guildford Quin as "Olivia," with the whole strength of "the company, , assisted by a grand double quartet Id the old English glees, pastorals, etc.,.-incidental to tho play, epeoiaAly; .arranged by Mr Frank Engarde. The -mounting and dressing of the characters in the old-fashioned style ia co carefully carried out as to give quite a sense of realism to the production.
