tive of the season, the opening part, 'the semi

the audience AT the start The duet by Miss
Martyne and Mr. Hatch is eminently pleasing,
and Miss Pete Shaw captivates the house
especially the older men who so into ecstacies
over the blonde beauty. The Laiscell Family
are retained and proye as pleasing as ever.
The new. conner, Miss Edith Gibbs, has scored
a hit Miss Msrtyne is great favorite, and
her rich voice delight to her hearers. Mis-
Alice Sherwood records another week Of sue
cess. Pete Shaw, the famous female imper-
senator, takes the house by storm. Professor
Ross dogs are tine illustrations of the highest
trained animal intelligence, and viii prove the
success of the week. The afterpece is very
amusing, and gives the audience another
chance to see Miss Clara Wilbur, whose face
they always delight to look upon.
