Loxpos, Sept. 17.—Probably because much was expected of Haddon Chambers, the critics, with one accord,state the “Queen of Manoa,” which was produced at the Hay- market theater on Thursaay night with Mrs Langtry in the leading role, is guite un- worthy of thagutuor of ‘“Captain Swift,” and otber first class plays. Despite the zen eral criticism of the press that to Mrs. Lang try is oue another failure, the manager has reason 1o think that, with the resonstruction of the last act of the play, which is probablv the weakest point in it, she wiil bave an attraction with considerable drawing power. Mrs. Langtry has an excelient company and the play is splendidly staged. The action occurs ina Loudon cdrawing room and along the banks of the Th es. Among the first nighters present were a host of young guardsmen aud other fashionable “‘rounders,” who are inter- ested in Mre, Laogtry's train, Her costumes and diamonds are of surpassiug splendor.
