Corinne Comes Next.


COrinne Comes Next.
Last night closed the Hanlons engage
ment, and Fantasma was presented for
the last time here. The audience was
small, but appreciative. While the at
tendance has been very good during the
engagement, it has not been as good as
the attraction deserved. Aside from the
wonderful electrical and mechanical ef-
fects, the acting of the clever clown,
George II. Adams, is the best part of the
show.
George II. Adams off the stage is the
same genial, mirth-provoking character
that he is before the footlights. Those
who have been personally acquainted with
him, recognize his grace and extraordi-
nary facial expressions on the stage as
they did several years ago, when he took
the place of the famous George l.. Fox,
