Two Solid Hours of Humor.-Bill Nye is
walking encyclopedia of fun, and will make
you forget all the ills and trouble of life for
two solid hours. The exceedingly laughable

Jacks Original Creole Company will be the
at the Lyceum next week There
never was, nor has there ever been, but
one company of its kind, and that is Sam
T. Jacks, which comes direct from his own
opera house, Chicago, travelling in it's own
$4,000 palace hotel car. Mr.. Jack is the
originator of the entire entertainment, in
which these artists have scored success
season after season. The entire organiza-

fostered under his personal direction. At

his control, and as result it stands today

its kind in the world. This season Mr. Jack
seems to have been peculiarly fortunate in
securing new features, which he never fails
