voice. The performances of the DeLaye
! sisters, Lila and Zoe, on the double and
flying trapcze, is wonderful, and indeed

ing as ever. She was again and again
/ encored, especially for her ballads, "HOme,
Sweet Home" and Comm Thro' the
Rye" which she sang with a pathos and
naivete that was perfectly captivating.
The effect of this exquisite final trio,
"Beautiful Bells" was much married by
