been given by Manager Fox since he has been
in his new and handsome theatre have proved
very popular aud have attracted excellent
audiences. variety entertainment that pre-
sents constant succession of novelties, and
that combines in certain sense the attractions
OF the theatre, circus, and minstrel hail. is uu-
doubtedly more pleasing to a great many intel
ligent people than any other style OF exhibition
ever invented. The great object many persons
have in visiting place of public entertainment
is simply 10 kill time in agreeable manner, aud
q variety performance where songs, dances,
burlesques acrobatic exhibitions, and other
features follow each other in rapid succession
affords pleasure to many whose tastes do not iu-
cline to the legitimate drama. Mr.. Fox has at
the American a large and efficient company, and
he is constantly introducing interesting novel
ties with the idea of making his programmes as
fresh and attractive possible. The family
