MCKINNEY & SON.
BILL NYE AND BURBANK.

The dozen persons who went from
Baxter TO Joplin Monday evening to
hear the humOrists Bill Nye and A. =.
Burbank were universally disappoint-
ed in the entertainment. 1t is quite
generally known that Bill Nye's forte
is in bis writings and not in stage
work, hence all were led TO believe, as
the agent stated, that the heaviest part
of the entertainment would fall upon
Mr.. Burbank, who, II was supposed,
was comedian and impersonater Ot
rare ability. Upon witnessing the
performance. however, we found that
the work of Mr.. Burbank was very
tame, while Mr.. Nye surpassed our
expectations. His work is entirely
original and essentially peculiar to
himself. He exhibits upon the stage
the most stoical, immovable counte-
nance we ever looked upon and while
his exceedingly drol remarks are
throwing his audience into convul-
sions of laughter his white face looks
as though he might have just received
the sad news of the death of his mo-
ther, and that it would be utterly i'm
possible for him to indulge the pleas
ure of gentle smile.
