undsrstt oil that they are destined to meet with
liberal and apprsoiative patronage. Buffalo

before saw 80 much fun sFpyasa 9t2 sn hour q
the celebrated Vokss fSmIly put Into thsir UNIQUE
performance at the Academy Of Music last eve
ming. ltwsspurs fun, unmixsd with the slightest
tinge Of vulgarity or indecenct. From the time
Of their appearance until the curtain fell, the
audience were convulsed with laughter. Attimes
their demonstrations Of perfect satisfaction were
50 uproarous that the players bad to rest an IN
slant and good-naturediy show that they warmly
felt the appreciation which their efforts TO please
elected. II Is almost impossible TO award special
praise to any one Of the charming family. Each
member Of It 10 perfect in his or her way. They
sing well dance we'll. act WELL do everything well
in fact. After the way in which they pleased the
audience last night, we venture to predict that
the Academy win be crowded to overhowing every
night of their engagement. To describe their per-
Torrance would be very fiat and Improbable. It
Is . performance peculiar to themselves, and-to
use an expression which we remember to have
heard once before-s'it must be seen to be appre-
cisted." All we can say 10, that . more sgre o
able, fun-producing, mirth-inspiring, laughter
provoking entertainment mas nsyer boon seen In
this city"
