Then there is q bit OF Ero in Paris
After The PERKS Etc c-..s0de, which IL really
more spectacular than anything else, the
Acme Quartet club, consisting Of four hand
some young men in full dress and police
gloves, MARBLES few strains, during which
at attains the higher notes with some diff
Guilty and swollen iugJllar veins. The Acme
1uartet pleased me very much, especially
when it refused TO sing any more. 1 think
the Acme is certainly superior 30 the Climax
quartet, the Trophy, the Little Mammoth or
the Early Dwarf quartet.
A tableau was now produced with Eden
Musee effects, and, with a calcium light
thrown on it, pleased me much better than
the Railway murder.
Ten minutes are next devoted TO selections
from French opera by Delaur and Debimont,
who also change their clothes several times,
after which nine lovely women are discov-
ere standing on the stage dressed in mems
SlJches.
These nine lovely women sing a song which
sounds like all the other songs that have been
sung, involving more or less strolliug down
Broadway and breaking up several home
circles, sly and unconstitutional social ecceu-
tricity, etc, during which one of the nine
lovely women, wearing a baseball uniform,
in which she looks like "A flannel doll that has
been run over by heavy wagon, distinctly

me, and l put my hat on again TO cove my

AT this point young woman sings a song. !
AT least it is generally understood that it is
another song, but it sounds similar, though
any one can see by her gestures that it has
more pathOs in 1t, and instead Of strOlIino.

ascends the trapeze by means of a dark red

The entertainment closes with comicaI
