The vicissitudes of London life are shown in this drama.  The company and the tableaux are good. After Dark may contain some objectionable material [none of which is described], but the principal characters are well portrayed. After Dark will continue until February. Lydia Thompson’s troupe takes over the hall at the start of that month.
