with what eager expectation the young and

the grand masquerade OF The Freundschafts-

cannot fall to be, as it has always been, one OF
the sensations of the season. To those who
have not yet provided themselves, an inspec-

There is to7bs no lack of amusements, 1t
seems. this winter. On Monday night The
Wyndham Comedy Company make their first
appearance in Charleston, and thea1re-Soers
will enjoy the rare treat of Witnessing per-
formances which are complete in every part,

school. They devote themselves TO comedies.

joyable entertainment is always given by this
troupe"
