Zangwill's success, "Merely Mary Ann," occupies the boards of the Grand Theatre. Messrs. Bright and Maxwell's company could not be improved upon. The comedy runs on the popular lines of the ""Family Herald" type, being, in short, the trials and tribulations of a lodging-hottse ^'slavey" who eventually comes into a for- tune, and, of course, a husband. But the charm lies in the pourtrayal; and, apart from the first act, which is palpably wsak, the action runs smoothly and pleasantly. Miss Christine Silver, who has made her nark in Barne plays, is the "bright particu- lar." She has a wmsome manrier, and the beauty of her acting consists of her extreme naturalness. Mr. Dauglae Gerald as the German composer, and Mr. A. C. Grand as Peter—'both of whom will be remembered in "Quality-street —take leading parts, and do themselves justice. Around this trio the story in the main revolves. It is a (jis- tinctly pretty play. • "FEMALE SWINDLER" DRAMA AT THE STAR.

Comoo v of a pronounced type is supplied by K^ke Forater in dual parts. Others who are Messrs. A. Kenyon Grey, Mr. Asherstone, Charles Elton, H. Marshall, D Cecil, and Misses N. Shaw, Evelyn, MarraMe, nnd Florrie Kelsey. There are some realistic stage pictures. The play should be seen by the many lovers of sbnUing dram*-
