The Chicago Comedy Company
which will appear at Columbis
hall, on Monday, July LIST, comes with
a fine prestige, being highly recon-
mended by the press. Many people
can hardly believe that such fine per
formances can be given at such popu
lar prices; but when taken into con
sideration that they play no shorter
engagement than week, and the i'm

road fares, hotel, theatre, advertising
and many other expenses, it can readi
ly be seen that what the public wants
is one-dollar show such as the Chi
cago Comedy Company gives at twenty
and thirty cents. Reserved seats at
Van Epps's, can be had without extra
charge.
