Humming Bird's Letter

The New York Journal speaks of tha Humming Biid, which Salsuury's TroiiDuduuis ulay here nexl Monday evening, in the fuHowiug complimentary terms: A remarkably huinorous liit was made at the Star theatre last night by :he Salsbury Troubadours in "The tluniiüiug Jurel. " It ouglit to be the best success Lliis clever company lwve ever made 111 New Jfork. The piece iii which Uiey aptear is cleverly wiiiten, aud the audience is kept mo'st ui the time iu paroxysmi of laughtcr, Wliat tuoie eau be asked for lïom a farcecomedy exceptin? the one furtherquality oí liaviiiK the fun artistically doue? And there are no more artistie fuuQiakers tlian the Troubadours. rne pioi or me piece, so f;ir as ia ïecessay to teil, is made through the medium of an advertisemeiu in the Sunday Journal, which sevfral people inswer wlio are theatrically inclined. Several families get invojved in the trouble over the advertisement signed 'IJumnaiiia; liird,"' and the eomplications are so manv and novel that the iiulience laugh contiirually. Theie are io tedious moments in the play and the Mtuations come about very naturallv. Che Troubacluurs have had 110 piece since "The liiook" which was so good, Messrs. Fred. Williams and üeorge Stout are eutitled to much praise.
