THE NoKEs FAMILY will reproduce this
evening their laughable play entitled Fun
In q Fog" than which nothing more comical
can well be imagined. Last evening there
was fall and fashionable house, and the
Laughter of the audience was so loud as 10
almost drown the Nokes' voices. The scene
IL laid upon yacht In motion, and the ludi-
cr0us attempts OF The merry passengers to
keep their equilibrium and the painful efforts
OF the sea-sick militia captain Fred. VOkes)
10 keep down outward manifestations of his
"true inwardness" is one OF the richest pieces
OF humorous acting on the stage. Those
wonderful long and elastic legs of his, in
their queer twistiDgs are not more mirth
n
both, com bined with his keen sense of the
ludicrouS, constitute him an eccentric come
dian OF the first class. To night Miss ROsina
Nokes, as good In her line as Fred. In his,
will have benefit, when she will appear in
her speciality, Nan, the Coed for Nothing"
which will be substituted for the usual farce.
or course there will be crowded house.
