LITTLE PUCK.

Notwithstanding many counter attractions
last evening. a crowded house cordially
greeted the old favorite. Frank Daniels, and
his new farce comedy called In despair of
finding any term to fit it, Little Puck. I"
This mirth- provoking piece is filed with
wealth of absurd humor, extravagant busi-
ness and laughter compelling dialogue. AS
the staid old stock broker transformed
into his own sen, Mr.. Daniels makes a raj
pable hit. His fund Of quaint humor and
his eccentric genius for odd conceits and
droll by-play, has free flow.
He is uneommonly well supported, for
there Is no hitch in the flow of the farce or
in the cast.
The extravaganza is well worth seeing.
Get your seats early for there's only few
OF 'em left.
