DELIGHTED TO ATTEND THE PROFESSOR'
PERFORMANCE NEXT WEEK.

HUNTER WHO HAS LOST HIS WAY IN THE
| NORTHWEST, NOR THE MAN WHO HAS
BEEN CASHIER OF A BANK AND HAS
| ABSCONDED TO AUSTRALIA. CAN
| POSSIBLY GET HERE IN TIME TO SEE
| THE PROFESSOR" BUT ALL GOOD
| CITIZENS MAY CONGRATULATE
| THEMSELVES THAT "THE PROFESSOR"
WILL BE HERE WITH A FALL OF REAL
| WATER AND ORIGINAL MOTHER-IN-LAW.
| FLIRTING GIRLS, AND A PROGRAMME THAT
| EXTENDS THROUGH THREE HOURS OF
| CONTINUOUS SATISFACTION, WILL BE
| THE ATTRACTION AT
| FoRDS OPERA HOUSE. 1.-THE PROFESSOR"
| WISHES YOU A MERRY
| THANKSGIVING DAY AND A
| COOL FOURTH OF JULY.
