BEN TRAVERS FARCE.

Walls and Ralph Lynn in “A Cuckoo in the Nest.” Two respectable married couples, the missing of a train by the husband of one and the wife of another, the enforced companionship of the two in a lonely country village, and the search of the other parties interested, form the circumstances of many humorous sequences in the Ben Travers farce, “ A Cuckoo in the Nest,” which heads the current programme at the Tivoli Theatre. Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn enact the leading roles, which suit their st . y * e „ °* act ing to perfection, just as did “ Rookery Nook,” by the same author. In fact, Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn are the picture, although they are ably supported by Yvonne Arnaud, Mary Brough, Robertson Hare and Grace Edwin. From the point of view of story, acting and setting, the pro duction reaches a high standard and is never wearisome. Good “ shorts ” complete the entertainment.
