ROBSON AND CRANE
These delightful comedians Robson and
Crane will appear at Portland Theatre Mon
day and Tuesday evenings. Speaking of the
Two Bachelors in which they will present
themselves, Monday, the Brooklyn Eagle says:
when Messrs Robson and Crane formed a
dramatic copartnership, anybody who had seen

comedy, Our Bachelors which thew have
been playing at Haverly's Brooklyn Theatre

roars of laughter "
