great humorist appeared several times
and said very funny things for five or ten
minutes and retired. Miss Torbett, the
violinist, proved n favorite, and pleased
the audience by appearing several times.
Mr.. Thalberg's tenor was appreciated. as
was Mr.. Downey's second selection. Al

were rather dissatisfied To have bought
seats for an entertainment but little over
an hour long, when they expected To hear
Nye himself as long as that.
