TIE KEsx,s AMusEMENTs.
Another splendid Bill at the Academy
The Kinks.


At the Academy of Music tomorrow
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the
'sThree Wives" will be produced "Only
a Farmers Daughter" will fill the boards
he rest of the week. The 'sThree Wives"
is one of the brightest comedies ever writ
ten. 1t all depends on the concert that the
heir of one uncle must get married to keep
the old gentleman's favor, and that the
heir of another uncle must remain single
in order to gain the same end. OF
course the man who must remain SINGLE
gets married, and the other one cannot en-
dure the thought of wife. Both uncles
arrive inopportunely and the poor fellow
who will not get married is obliged to take
on himself the odium of being married to
three separate and distinct women. The
trouble then is to prevent the old boys
from finding out the real state OF affairs.
Miss Lillian Lewis will be supported by
Miss Esther Lyon, of the Madison Square
theatre in 'sOnly Farmers Daughter"
