finely cast as they are on the genuine dol

Tuesday Sept. 25th will be the laugh
ing day at the Park Opera House. On this
date the clever and accomplished actress
Miss Hettie Bernard Chase and her merry
com pany of entertainers will present the
lproariously funny play 1895" For
nure solid fun, sweet selections of song,
dainty bits of dance and legitimate comedy
'l996p is the ideal farce concert. 1t is too
good and too comical play to be dissicted
in these columns for the benefit of those
who neglect to go and see it. The point
now is that it presents clear bright pol
ish two and a half hours invitation to gen.
uine forgetfullness of care and makes every
one who sees it loose sight of the fact that
they ever had the blues. While funny
as funny can be, the comedy 1895, is at
all times legitimate and refined.
