edy was very enjoyable. Mr. Lin-
gurd appeared an "Sir Simon" and the
troll aud yet at times earnest manner
iu which he sustained the character
fully just ilied the high expectation that
Ills reputation as an actor warranted.
The other characters of the piece were
well rendered. The main Interest of
