The Hustler.

of the best, brightest, cleanest and most
entertaing farce-comedies. The story is
not lost sight of during the three acts,
something that cannot be said of many
similar plays. The merriment begins
with the rise of the curtain and increases
in volume until the final scene. A num-
Der of very pretty musical selections
form one of the many pleasing features
of the entertainment. The specialties
are introduced in q natural and easy
manner, and these specialties are clever
in their way. The costumes are all new.
bright and picturesque, and add greatly
to the pretty stage pictures. The com
pany is one that pleases. George f.
Marion, who is famous throughout
America as comedian, assumes the role
of McFadden, the hustler, and his dry
humor is enough to convulse a saint.
Barney Reilly is another popular dialect
comedian; and Harry Watson, Gus Mills
and John Gilroy add to the fun making.
