few lovers Of that aris,ocratic
burg a chance to shake their fat
sides. The bill for this evening Is
a capital one, including 4 choice col

budget OF queer jokes and funny,
things. and several new and original
features, little Mac appearing In Ills
great speciality OF Coco" which
alone viii be worth twice the admis-

charge for reserved seats, aud the
prices OF admission will remain tho

We shall not see his Ike again very soon."
