Tho management of the Academy accept
the suggestion that there is altogether too
much burnt cork in the performances there,
and that the "Black and Tan Convention
burlesque is not an entertainment to which
the public should be invited. The gym
nastie and aerobatic ieats Of the Miaco
brothers, the graceful dances OF the Cline
top sisters, the songs of Miss Adele St.
Clair the melody of Miss Nellie Taylor, the
Senegambian gambols of Delehanty and

plause. Tonight there will be pleasing
variation in the variety performances.
