" La Sonnambula," with the Worrell
Sisters in the principal parts, was
presented last evening at this theatre to its
hao'tues. The burlesque was replete with
amusing incidents, good hits and excellent
music. The longer the Worrell Sisters remain
amongst us, so increases their popularity.
They are certainly deserving of their laurels,
for whatever they undertake they do well.
Space will not allow of heightened notice for
all the remaining attractions. Let il suffice
that exit certainly knows what's what. To-
