ficult to find on the comedy stage of the present
day happier conjunction of talent than that
which is brought together in this company. Mr..
jefferson as Bob AcreS, Mr.. Florence as Sir
Lt,ciuS, and Mrs. Drew as Mrs. MdldpropS is
treat to the lovers of genuine comedy. In

which he has not protrayed for years. Mr..
Florence as Ezekiel HomeSplt1 accomplshes
one of the most difficult task that is ever at
tempted by an actor, perfectly simple express
sion of elemental feeling At the Saturday matt

pleasing novelty ever seen on the American
stage. The company consists of the ten only
midget actors in the world, who are from
eighteen to forty-three years of age, and from
twenty-eight to thirty-eight inches tall. The
leading soubrette, Miss Selma Goerner is gifted
with beautiful voice and a rare histrionic
talent. Mr.. FAM Ebert, the comedian of the
company, measures only twenty eight inches,
and is doubtless the funniest little man to be
found on the stage. The midgets and support
ing company of two hundred artists form an
excellent ensemble. The company will present
in Washington their most successful spectacu-
lar play, "The Pupil in Magic,' which has been
given in New York more than one hundred
times. The sale of seats will commence Thurs
day, at the box office of Albaugh's.

Lincoln Hall on Saturday evening next Henry
George is one of the most distinguished social
| and political economists of his age. He has
written a number Of books upon social ques-
tlons, among them progress and Poverty
and it is safe to say that from his point of view
it is one of the most profound inquiries into
the cause of industrial depression, and of in

debate will probably not be confined to one
single question, but will take wider range.

fixed so as to popularze the entertainment.
