The Dazzler;;" also we'll and favorably
known to the patrons Of this house
The Dazzler" has been shined up con-
siderably since it twinkled here last
season and now embodies some of the
best conceits in its department. There
is no plot in the piece, but there is a lot
Of room for clever songs, witty sayings,
ridiculous situations and new dancing,
all of which is taken advantage of by
the members of a picked and capable
company. Every performer has been
selected for his or her capabilities, and
the result is that everything introduced
in the course Of the three acts is orig
inal and pleasing. The specialties
which are the life of farce comedy. are
all of a high order and the music is all
new, bright and catchy. The soubrettes
are pretty in face, elegant in figure and
bewitching in action. They all sing
sweetly and dance cleverly.

Appearing before the leading scientific
societies and scientists of the world she
has created a sensation and proved an
enigma. Her appearance before the
royal scientific society of London was
spoken of at some length by Prof. VIM.
Crooks in the Journal of Science. Her
journey to India was primarily for the
purpose of finding the talking head left
by her friend Nine. Blavatsky. In
this she was unsuccessful, but devel-
oped while in India a series of startling
and mysterious experiments that are
wonderful beyond human conception
and apparently unfathOmable. The
most prominent of which is her latest
sensation, Somnolency, beyond all
doubt the greatest acroamatic bewild-
erment ever presented to the world.
