1t is comparatively q rare thing for us
to be able to announce an entertainment

a disappointment to our people. Such

ing. In addition to their entire company
oflast season, they have secured Mrs. E.
Owen Flint, the famous English comedi-
enne and character inpersonator; also
NIaude Flint 7years of age), the most
accomplished child actress before the pub
lie. Her great success has been attained
through her beautiful rendition of the
role of Editha in that delightful little
sketch Editha's Burglar. This little
sketch will be remembered by many as
having made such a decided hit at the
Lyceum Theater in New York the past
season. Royce & Lansing's success i.
accounted for by their strict adherence.
of presenting strictly refined entertain
ment, composed of the best artists an>
the best vocal and instrumental music.
