This Comedy st Opera House To-morrow Night Osly Offering of the Week. The new theatrical offering, ' Too Rich To Marry," by Edward O wings Towne, is said to be so new in its character and structure that it is difficult to classify it It is called on the bill boards a farce comedy, but the name is hardly comprehensive enough to include the phases or tbe piece, which develops a real heart interest strong enough to place the piece in the list with serious dramas. Still it is too intensely funny and uproariously laughable to be de nominated a drama. If we were to be al lowed to coin a name to fit the surpris ing variety of matter to be found in the piece, says an exchange, we would call it a farce-comedy-drama. Seats are now on sale.
