E Gazette says: ''It was the best and most satisfac tory dramatic entertainment that has been witnessed in Nashua this season." Special scenery and good orchestral music. Tickets on sale at AbePs.

 Our individual mention will be confined to MT. Adams and Miss Burnham. This pail of fun makers have always been favorites in Shamokin and Saturday night clinched the nails of popularity which they have driven deeper year by year. MT. Adams has a com. edy part in which he fairly revels, and turns the situation to the serious so cleverly that he commands the applause which always follows. Miss Burnham is the ideal 'tLittle Jack' and in her boys clothes her diminutive figure COT. sAo 4s,,1 style of acting. The special scenery was all that was advertised and tue specialties and musical numbers went like wild fire. It is only once or twice within the remembrance of the oldest theatre goer in Shamokin that the audience has risen en masse and shouted ''come again." and yet this happened Satur- day night, which is sufficient tribute to the worth of this entertainment. t.-Shamokin Dis patch.
