ON AND OFF.
A complete change of bill is announced for this evening, as Burnand's ever popular farce "On and Off" will lie presented when there will no doubt be another lame audience. It * a typical Bnriuwd comedy light, gay, and sparkling, and introduces many diverting episodes, such for instance as the winking girl,' 'who is supposed to be suffering from a nervous affection, and causes no end of trouble to a. trio of gay old boys. A pl.onogn.ph plays an important part . m the development of the plot. Further there is this to commend the piece, the audience is kept hi expectancy, for they have little indication as to what is coining next, each act gives up a new set of surprises, and m comparison with Broadhurst's play, it is also more enjoyable m that it is not so much what is known as "a "one character" piece. In "On and Off" the bulk of the cast are not required to take secondarr places m the story and action.
