HERNIA TREATMENT.
DIR. T. X. Galloway will take no new cases
for treatment at Westminster after March
18th, 1898, unless enough cases offer to
justify the expense. 2t
Harris, Britton and Dean, the popular man
ayers Of that beautiful amusement temple, in
Baltimore, known as Harris Academy Of
Music, have Just announced the engagement
at this house Of the dramatic event of the New
York season, one Of the most emphatic sue.
cesses of recent years, "The Crust of Society," y
which will be given at the Academy for six
nights, ana Thursday and Saturday matinees,
beginning Monday, March 18th. This re-
markable drama has been pronounced cri-
terion of excellence from Maine to California,
and its forthcoming production in Baltimore
will evidently prove the social surprise eff the
season. The theatre going public of this city
will no doubt turn out en- masse to witness
this superb dramatic performance. The sale
Of seats is advertised to open on Monday,
March 9th, at the usual places in Baltimore.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary expense
attached to this great attraction, Harris,
Britton and Dean state, there will be no ad
vance in the regular prices, one dollar will
purchase the best seat 10 the house. 1.-THE
Crust of Society will be given in Baltimore
with the original company, the same that
presented the piece during its long run at the
Union Square Theatre, New York. The
scenery aud costumes are said to be marvels
in themselves and alone worth seeing. "The
Crust of Society," has attracted crowded
houses OF fashionable people in all the cities
throughout the country, and from the interest
already manifested in Baltimore, the indica-
lions are that the immense seating capacity
of Harris Academy viii be tested to its full
i.
