A farce brought out at the Olympic under the the

title of Matrimonial qe. 40. is marked by no novelty of combination ; the well-known expe- dient of causing one person to be taken for another being employed ac- cording to the most familiar plan : but such is the smartness of the dia- logue, and so comic is the acting of Mr. Shalders as a matrimonial adver- tiser and of Mr. Compton as a London scamp, that the roar of the audience is maintained throughout.
