The famous pantomime by this name
which has so often created laughter and
amusement under the management Of
Tony Denier will be given here at
Harper's Theatre, on Thursday evening
next the lst of July. Although the name
is old the patomime is new and it might
as we'll be called something else but the
name of Humpty Dumpty is retained like
the label, on a bottle, to show that the
contents are good and up TO the standard
of the vendor who has attained notoriety
The Euening Herald of Charleston s. c.,
says:
The Pantomimc perform anc5 ut the
Academy of Music last night, was hand
somely attended. and tbs large audience

delightful sensation could be felt. would
be for the public to experience themselves
By visiting the Academy this evening. 10
fne, Tony Denier's psntomime troupe is
by far the best in its line that has ever
graced the Charleston boards, aud they
richly deserve an audience OF which they
might feel proud.
