THE PLAY. HE Play at the end of last term was " A Comedy of Errors." To say that it was a success, capitally staged and acted with taste and feeling, would be the merest of commonplaces. It is only necessary to mention that, for the 25th time it was " under the production " of Mr. Yeld, and that, as usual, he eagerly devoted all his energies, skill, and experience to the budding actors he had selected with so much discrimination. R. Baldwin, as Antipholus of Ephesus, displayed undoubted talent, and showed that he had studied his part with conscientious intelligence. Sale, with his inborn grace of manner and charm of voice, threw an ornamental touch of romance into the character of the other Antipholus, reaching its climax in the pathetic scene, when he declared his devotion to the " fair " Luciana (who wore a wig!) The Duke was capitally acted by T. E. Pulleyn, who entered well into the spirit of the part, and gives promise of yet greater things. His stalwart form lent the necessary dignity to a commanding character. P. H. Yeld and Scott, as the two Dromios, were witty and amusing, and made their hits well, whilst Roy still further increased his reputation by treating us to a really excellent piece of acting in his impersonation of Adriana.
