FOX AT BOOTHS THEATRE.

That merry monarch of mimicry, Mr.. George H. Fox
after brief absence from the city boards has his
bow again before his laughing subjects. AT Booths
remodelled and amended form the old familiar
favorite 'Humpty Dumpty" with all its attendant
attractions. Pantomme it is true, is associated with
the approach of the Christmas holidays but what
querulous mortal will complain if it soonerS The
audience assembled to enjoy it last evening and the
warmth Of the reception accorded 1t, bespoke no
passive welcome. And why should this not be so 7
Have we not the same right TO enjoy now while it is
yet the early autumn, as in midwinter

the hands Of Mossrs William Voegtlin and Matt

flights. The liberty egmately allowed to this sort of
entertainment invites the marvellous TO belong those

mime is not solely relied for diversion. There

Hampty Dumpty put his shutters up last
night but when he shall have settled down
in his quarters and made himself at home he will
no doubt permit his young admirers to retire at q

supported; his associate pantaloon is Mr. Robert
Fraser, evidently practced and clever performer.
