members of Baureis q Pulls company, will
take his annual benefit, appearing with the
entire company in the beautiful comedy en-
titled THE Waltz King" which Is as full of
music and life as anything may
which is suggestive of Strauss, who has
been in many lands the king of music which
conduces TO recreation. Aside from the ma
