The appearance of delegation from the Salvation army in the house in the second act, and their fer novelty. Miss Aollie Thompson gives 8 taking song and dance. and "The Hustler" quartet is e strong favofite. There is not a minutes 1et-up in "The Hustle-," it's laughter and genuine fun from start to finish.
