Bon TOMS Good Things.
The t-heatregoers in Jersey City have
apparently come to the conclusion
that it is not necessary to cross the
ferry and go to New York to see a
vaudeville show. thereby losing o an
hour or so. coming and going. This trip
is obviated with the advent of the Bon
Ton Theatre. It is quite erroneous to
imagine for a moment hat it is at all
necessary to go outside of Jersey City
to see a high-class performance of a
vaudeville nature. as the Bon Ton
dishes up one of the best programmes
of any first class theatre in America
Next weeks bill will be no exception to
this rule. The bill next week comprises:

Nana's Last Week.
For the last six days of the beautiful
painting lana in Jersey City the man
agement %nnounces that the prices of
admission will be reduced after five
O'Clock in the evening, to meet the de-
mand of the majority who wish to view
this masterpiece, so from five till ten
P. M. it will cost only ten cents to see
Via you may never ave the chance OF
seeing again, viz: the most life like
painting of a female figure ever pro-
duced. Nothing like it it is entirely
safe to say has ever been seen in Jersey
City. There is al entire absence of
| p~aintiness about the picture which is
impossible to conceive. In fact, so fas-
c~inating and so beautiful is it that an
observer is deluded into the belief that
he sees before him in all her charming
beauty the living creation of a poets
dream, the Favored of the Gods" The
more he gazes upon this marvellous pic
ture the more does he feel the enchant-
ment of the bewitching smile, of the
| sparkling eyes, and the less inclined is
handiwork of man. The picture is a
true work of art and perfect in all its
| details.
