THE M'GIBENY FAMILY.
The Boston Globe says: "It is pleasant to
see the McGibeny Family on the stage. There
is an agreeable absence of conventionalism
in their grouping, as well as in the way in
which they carry out their concert pro-
gramme; and if the fifteen great and small
| McGibenys do not form a very happy as
well as an uncommonly talented household,
| all signs and indications are wonderfully at
| fault. The McG!6enys were greeted last
night by large audience. Their appearance
| in the Dahlgren course last week was very
successful and their entertainment yester-
day evening met with every mark of popular
| favor"
The McGibeny's will appear in the Stock
bridge Pops" Monday at City Hall.
