At the Adelphi, the Camp at Chobbam has been very
pleasantly treated in a farce bearing that title - the author, Mr. Mark Lemon, owing his success partly to his own smart dialogue, partly to the excellence of his actors, and patty to his judgment in not making too much of his local topic. The tricks which a military officer, acted with admirable coolness by Mr. Leigh Murray, practises upon a retired Cockney, played with the ne-plus-ultra of small importance by Mr. Keeley, would be amusing if there were no encampment whatever at Chobham; and, as it is, the "fact of the day" comes in as a good background.
