people. Then look at the supper,
by which she is surrounded. Miss

to no other novice on the American

favorite in the opera houses of New
York, Philadelphia and New Or

perior to Glider or any other pianist
that has yet appeared here. We

economy i'll paying four bits to see
a poor show better save it till a
good troupe comes along and then
give dollar with a good grace.
