Frank Daniels in Little Puck "
will be at the Opera House next
week. As "Old Sport he never
failed to delight great crowds, but
when he commenced in play of
his own and appeared last season,
his friends were doubly delight. In
Little Puck his every move is ex-
pressive, his humor is pure and
wholesome and there is no stupid
eaoit to appear ludicrous, but SIM
ply the acting OF a genuine come
dian. Little Puck is an oGd tale
in which, by an Indian hoodo,
father and son are made to change
places and Of course ludicrous stu
ations result. Daniels is one of the
most versatile and entertaining
comedians on the stage, and the
Opera House ought to be packed.
1t will be rendered at the Opera
House, Friday the 25th inst.

tisenent.
