"THE GIRL FROM RECTOR'S." Mr Hugh J. Ward and his company oi comedians* are a. sured of a hearty j welcome a.t> tlie Theatre Royal toi night by all those wlio love laughter j and genuinely produced merriment. I In Paul M. Potter's farcical comedy, i "The Girl from Rector's," every artist is seen and heard to advantage, and all promise to sustain their alreadyhigh and popular reputation. In the character of Professor Ma.boon, Mr Ward introduces humour that bubb'es forth spontaneously and keeps tiie oud'enea in*a state*of almost hysterical merriment from rise to fall of the certain. The part is played in hs own Grr.-« Palotta as a bright und vivacious actress excels in her role, w Inch brings forth every gift of this beautiful and talented art'st, and is cons derably enhanced by bright and sparkling musical numbers. Misses Celia Ghilo'ii Aland Cbptwvnd, Ruby Baxter and Florence Redfern cause much con hi ion and Messrs Mallileau, AYykeham. R, Greig, H. Wallace and the other members are seen theii l'v»st and are enually responsible for the overwhelmingly funny situations and complications that dovelcn as play proceeds. In fir + . '"Tlv* Girl from Rector's" oan be described, as a "lnirr'"iiie comedy" which carries tlie audience along with whirling force from beginning to end, anct never leaves a dull moment to Ithink of . tha. cares of the outside .world.
