These are dull days in East Fourteenth
street. DR.. Carver closed his season at thu

| deavored to transport his mpany and effects

get them out OF the city and we're attached BY

| emy because IL was n disappointment to aim ost
| everyone who saw It. Visitors expected to see
| an overland stage coach drawn by six horses
| fnll from lofty bridge to n raging torrent
below Instead OF that they saw q pair Of
unhappy horses showed out on the bridge In
front Of n milk wagon and then drop into q
! tank. Tho fnll OF the single horse In an earlier
act OF the play was much more effective and
thrilling. There Is disappointment at Huber 8
this week because of the non appearance OF q
band OF performing monkeys from whom
much was expected by those who were inter-
ested In the higher forms Of dramatic art. Ono
OF these monkeys is a snake charmer. and was
advertised to handle a number Of venomous
reptiles as skilfully as Dot Sonwell did before
her accident. Another of the simian tribe
would. It was announced. perform in a SWIM
ming tank after the manner Of Clara Beckwith.
But this highly gifted company OF artists
failed to appear this week. ss advertised.
owing to the sudden illness OF the snake-
charming ape and visitors to the museum are
forced to content themselves with broken

freaks and curiosities. But the monkeys will
be seen next week. and until then East Four
teenth street must exercise patience. There
is no disappointme ent at Tony Pastors Theatre.
