"Over Night, which was presented {| at the Grand Opera House on Thurs- day evening by the Rex Stock com- pany, is ome of the best laugh hits of the season. The large audience present went home convinced. that the Rex players are offering at the Grand for the last three days of the week one of the funniest pro- ductions they have presented dur- ing the past two seasons. It is al- together different to anything which has been played by the Rex Com- pény. The show| is produced in three acts and every member of the com- pany has a part to play. The first act takes place on the deck of a steamer where two wedding couples, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kettle (Rex Snelgrove and Ethel Van Order) and Mrs. Percy Darling (Herbert Lewis and Zana Vaughn) board the steam. er with the intention of going on their honeymoon.
