Beacham and occupied at the time by a
crlored man named Charley Davis, was

cansed by accident. Davis lost all of his

dwelling, as he had no insurance.
The Marionettes are huge, but the per-
formance grows little mOnotOnOus after
the first few rounds. The following is a
fair criticism on their performances at this
place. "FOr play of the kind it is very
good. 1t is figure acting entirely, the
characters being matle to do some wonder
full things. Through ventriloquists, the
figures are made to talk and by means of
strings to act and walk around the stage
as though inspired with life. One of the
figures is a skeleton, which, after dancing
a liz falls to pieces on different portions of
the stage and as mysteriOusly goes together
again. There is no better show to amuse
children"
