The Wonderland Musee and Thea

proprletorship of Smith q Strong and
Willard Stanton manager. This con-
yenient place of amusement never be-
fore looked so attractive and inviting.
The decorations are bright and cheer
full with everything that fancy could

was thronged all of the afternoon and
evening-the attendance in fact sur
prised the management, as it exceeded
5000 pe:sons-and they were surprised

1t seems unnecessary to speak at
length concerning the coming of Hal

has been roaring and money-making
success in the larger cities for several
seasons. The sale of seats will begin
to-day.
To expatiate on the long run of

familiar with its great success, and the
announcement of its coming to Powers
Grand Tuesday of next week has at
this esrly day aroused interest. The
play should prove attractive to those
theater-goers whom the tinsel and
pruriency of the imported drama tires,
