There is to-day no better known or more
popular musical comedy organization on
the American stage than the famous SAILS
bury Troubadours, who will appear at the
Academy of Music on Monday evening
january 81, for three nights in their uni
yersally successful piece entitled ssThree of
Kind This very clever production
from the pen of Edwin E. Kidder, Esq, is
a bright and sparkling farcical comedy
written especially for the Salsbury's and is
admirably adapted to enable the talented
comgany to display their abilities. 1t deals
with the adventures of three lively clerks
obliged to rusticate for their errors in BUSH
ness, and with the adventures of the daugh-
ter of their employer. The three clerks,
felicitiously styled Jack Potts, Bob Flush,
Phil Straight, secured board at country
farm house where their employers daugh-
ter, Dolly Eastwood, also by chance OBJ
tanned quarters. The result is four of a
kind for time, and a right royal time
follows. All that is bright and lively in
music; uproariously funny in situations,
lively and sprightly in dances, and droIl in
Rotations and dialogue. has beeu COM
pressed into this most amusing act, which
transpires IN the country farm house; and
the fun continues AID just reaches its
height when the "old man. puts in an APP
peaiance and stops the jolly time. In the
next act, when the clerks return to town,
their expedients to make living are most
laughable, and the inimitable Salisbury and
his able heutenants, John Webster and
John Daboll, keep the audience In a con-
tinous roar. There is 40 more talented or
versatile comedian in his peculiar line than
Nate Salisbury, and winsome and winning
Nellie McHenry has no superior as SOU
brette
Those talented and popular comedians,
Louis Harrison, and John Gourlay, aided
by their famous comedy organization, will
appear for the first time in this city at the

their phenomonally successful, and uni
versally acknowledged most humorous of
all farce comedy productions, Skipped by
the Light of the Mooa." This performance
has been the reigning rage of laughter, for
the past two seasons, in all the principal
cities of this country from NewYork to
San Francisco, and is everywhere conceded
to be the most successful, and funniest of
all funny plays of this class yet known on

recurrent echoes of their vociferous APP

here for many seasons.
Again was Washburne's Museum for
ladies and children the scene of much
merriment Mr.. Washburne issued school
tickets which admits all scholars for 5
cents on a Saturday afternoon. On this
occasion, in place of the pie-eating con-
test he had something more amusing.
Twelve boys removed their shoes which
were placed in barrel and well shaken.
The boy who then secured his own shoes
and put them on first, was to receive the
prize. The theatre was crowded to the
doors, and every one seemed to enjoy the
show very much. James Burns, of School
No. IL, won the prize Next week, Fun on
the Bristol, with all the original scenery
and effects, will be produced Mr.. Wash
burn and his assistant, MIR. Wingate, de-
serves much credit for the able manner in
which thus theatre is conducted, and the
museum should be well supported by
lovers of amusements.
