prtd Ihsr pantomimes have proved to be the
| most popular and fascinating productions of the
| day; and even in the warmest weather they have
attracted crowds of our most respectable citizens
There is richness Of humor, q delicate intensity Of
| comic feeling, genuine exuberance Of vivacious
mirth about their pantomimes, that Is peculiar and
