with just thunder enough to make 1t agreea-
Bile. In the second act pleasing specialties
are introduced. The Pollock sisters, Emma
and Evelyn, are exceedingly clever artists
and were warmly received. They are Two of
the brightest little people on the stage. Their
singing is excellent and their dancing wor-
thy OF the highest praise. Emma's move
ment is that of grace itself and her varied
steps are perfection. The company one and
all are worthy Of praise. 1t should be re-
membered that to avoid disappointment tick
cts should be secured at Stockbrldge's.

open garden does great act. The stock COM
