weights, Corbett Is IS quick with his hands and
as ninble on his feet as the lightest of the ban
tGms, and what corbett does not know of the
science OF self-defense Is not worth knowing.
On this occasion Mr.. Corbett win have friendly
opponent, the well-known Bob McCord. who is
also more than clever with his hands. In view
OF the extraordinary interest taken In the re-

ton as great an attendance as that which greeted
them on their opening.
First and foremost among the Ministries is Mr..
Thatcher himself, who has the reputation OF
having created more laughs than any other
burnt cork artist in the profession. He Is ably
seconded by Lew Dockstader, late OF Docksta-

who, as an end man has no rival on the stage.
He makes his points with rare intelligence,
never descending 10 vulgarity. He serves a. an
excellent foil for Thatcher. Their duet, "a Fe-
line Duo" is one OF the great hits of the
first part. John A. Coleman, the famous English
comedian and grotesque dancer, will sing
"stroliing by the Seaside" followed by his
graceful dancing. Edward Marble and George
Lewis viii indulge in funny jokes and comic
songs. The singing contingent Ia headed by r.

expressive of male voices. He win render a new
composition, 1.-THE Lone Crave" by the we'll

is melodious and appropriate. The silvery tones
of Jose, the clear voice of Raymon
Moore, the rich notes OF Fl. w. Frillman,
and the resonant baritone OF Thomas
Lewis will be heard In the rendition OF "The
Bridge" Thomas Lewis will sing "The Ship
That Carries Ne Home" "The Lovers Quarrel
will be given as never before heard by Raymon
Moore, and II. w. Frillman will sing Sullivan's
masterpiece, 1.-The Lost Chord" The FIRST part
