The firat act is 8 puro and delight- ful comedy, conveyingonly a sufiiclont opening of the story srousing gentle Intereat fn the action. The cartaln falls upon a situa tion of suspensc caused by tho arrest of Zoberd nnd one of the most jmportant canons of play- writlng la thus observed, The sccond act is full of incident, sll going to carry forward the devel- opment of tho story In & raptd and consecutive manner.
