John Thompson.

Sales of seats for the star comedian,
John Thompson, and his star troupe
will commence tomorrow morning.
This Around the World" company
is thus spoken of by a Rochester, New
York, paper: IT any person in Roch-
ester doubts that there is a cure for
the blues he should have witnessed
the star comedian, john Thompson
last night in Around the World.
There are a great many patent medi-
ciDes that are supposed to cure all
kinds Of pains aud aches. Thompson
should come under this head, and
guaranteed as an iniallible cure. To
see Thompson will make you forget
your mother Flaw. The play is as
simple as A B c; the audience are
told of the ending before the play
begins-hcwever, surprises follow each
other in rapid succession: Irish,
German, Italian. Yankee, French,
Chinese, English and Hebrew tread
closely upon each others heels
The audience are never al
Owed to think. Songs, dances,
and musical instruments are sub.
stituted for monotonous dialogue.
Mr.. Thompson is almost continually
before tn, people, aud by this the
audience is spared the dullness which
a large company Of inferior people
bring with it. John Thompson has
heretofore been chiefly known for his
ION Hand and other seusatioualisms
When he wrote On Hand some
dozen years ago, a host Of imitators
soon sprang up, SO at last he decided
70 bid adieu to the agonising incidents
which we're made to do service as a
thread upon which to display bis yer.
satility. In Around the World he
has discovered a new way of accom-
plishing the same object, and the re.
suit is an entertainment SO pure in
character, full of interest aud fun
Lat all who see it cannot help but be
pleased"
