Of the production an exchange has this to
ssy: Superior in every respect to all pre-
vious representations of Tuxedo" Is the
general verdict to be heard from those who
have Witnessed this seasons performance
Of the popular minstrel farce comedy. The
chestnuts have been weedsd out most thor
oughly, and a new lease of life ia given to
''Tuxedo" by the esrnestness of the artists
who take part, and fnesee which was
lacking before. The songs and specislties
are all bran new, and the minst5els with
Hughey Dougherty, Burt Shepard, Arthur
Rigby and Ed Marble at the helm, never
seem to resort to buffoonery or suggestive
improper innuendos to draw laugh from
the gallery at the expense of the lady
auditors, who have so often been compelled
to listen to remarks from the stage that
causes the blush of shame to rise to their
cheeks. 1t is all clean cut. refined humor.
1t Is to be regretted that many other So
called Ministries and farce comedy COM
panies do not pattern after "Tuxedo" in
this respect Sale of seats now open.

concert to morrow afternoon on the green

The season at this HOUSE. will open on
Wednesday evening next, when Charles
H. Hoyt's clever satire on superstition,
GA Brass Monkey" will be presented. An
exchange says: The piece Is loaded with
comioal situations, bright, catchy songs
and funny lines. Mr.. Hoyt never misses
an opportunity to get laugh, and has his
audience smiling before the curtain goes
up. The programme is as much part OF
the entertainment as one of the scenes.
The names OF the characters are not only
amusing, but throw light on their subse-
quent public careers. Think of the man
ager of an auction room named Jonah
Then there are Doolittle Work, graduate
of business college; Dodge Work, Patch
Work, and previous lawyer with the
suggestive title of August Frost, giving
the hint of cold wave of an adverse
verdict nipping his hot eloquence in the
bud; Madden Sin, Savage Hogg, Fresco
Fog, Fowle Ball, two Williams named Mr.
Barnes of New York and Mr.. Potter OF
Texas, O violent wife named Birdie and 6
charming daughter named Baggage.

sonality and a neat, artistic method about
Lillian Swain which gives a charm to hel
