NEW OPERA HOUSE.
ft sits to »b® musical comedy theatr-= in time corivicrs anyone who is not im'p'~>*«ibly ingenuous that a wife-ruied huiband wili inevitably turn, even as the v.orm. And it is very pleasant to watch, from a comfortable seat, the proce?s of reversion to type —assertion of masculine authority over tbe bright young woman who6e clamour for gaiety is loader than the crackle of her husband's banknotes. _ There are many ways of presenting this enjoyable situation, and it is not without the bounds of possibility that many a male watches the goings-on with secret exultation. Husband; wishing to take a tip, or a series of tips, will benefit by a visit to the New Opera House this week, where they will be offered as much as they can absorb. The lesson goes under the name of "Archie," a most refreshing musical comedy, and it is the last of six productions under the Fuller banner. It opened to a full house on Saturday, and will continue for the rest of the week. It seems that the company has kept the best thing in its repertory box until the last, for "Archie' 1 has the most variety, the best comedy, and the happiest motif of all.
