The performance OF "Megilla, or the Story

1t is the candid truth that there were more
pretty girls in the chorus last night than In any
similar entertainment given in Newark In the
last ten years. and that Is a great deal to say. in
view OF tho fact that many entertain
ments with charitable ends in view have been
given recently by amateurs In Newarks most
