A NOTABLE REVIVAL, Following on She Stoops to Conquer" and The Rivals," Messrs. Harrison and Maude have now put on "The School for Scandal" at the Haymarket Theatre, and that they have done it well, goes without saying. Tu many respects itis quite the best of the three productions. Mr. Harrison is not in the east, which is a pity, as he certainly would have made a far better Joseph Surface thin Mr. Valentine, to whom the part has been entrusted. Mr, Cyril Maude is Sir Peter Teazle, and a funny crusty old Sit Peter he makes him, far.older and more confirmed in his bachelor ways than he ever was before, but the reading of the part is good, perhaps even better in some respects than the conception one is more used to. Miss Winifred Emery made a charming Lady Teazle and looked specially well in the screen scene, where her acting was superb. Some critics say she is the best exponent of the character we have ever had, in ang case she was very good, but still better was the Charles Surface of Mr. Paul Arthur, that T think must have established "a' record, as I Gun imagine nothing better. Miss Lottie Venne made an ideal Mrs, Candour, and Miss Constance Collier a perfect Lady Sneerwell. Altogether the cast is an exceptionally strong one and the revival should fill the theatre until the summer holidays begin.
