assisted at a performance OF Ned Buntne's "entirey

with farce full Of tears and drama STEPPED In gore
ana laughter, Ned Buntline will be the cause. "The
Broken Bank" is model for the coming farce. It's
called farce because nobody says or does anything
funny. and 1t entirely for the same reason One

remark points the moral Five minutes later, virtue IS
triumphant and the bright creature, with the pettcoat
