Leonard Grover's very successful comedy,
which was so well received here last season,
was greeted with at least equal approbation
ai the Olympic Theatre last night. VOne or
more of tbe types described in our 'Board

and it is easy enough to pick up in Tarioua
parts of the country an Elevator, a SJwuter
a OSlypod, or an Eligible, but themass could
hardly be agglomerated outside of the great
city of extecsiae enterprises. 'OurJ3oard-
ing House' must be ranked as a first-class
comedy, for; its life is in its character-por
