Miss Marguerite Burns, as Ma Sweet,
WAS most decided success. In her in
imitable style she introduced to the audi
ence her four handsome daughters. whom
she recommended for various accomplish
ments. The "new" and "catchy" tunes,

ceived with great applause.
Mamie Markley, AZ Gloriana Gadabout,
Ma Sweets youngest daughter, distin-
guished herself las her ma said she would)
for gigeling. Her giggling recitation was
exceedingly we'll done. !,
Miss Burns, as Betsy Belindy, another

1.-THE Raven" delivered by Mr.. A. B.
Renehan, needs no comment. Mr. Rene
hans reputation as an elocutionist 10 we'll

Towering canons.
In the comedy, "Murder Will Out" Miss
P. Romero, as Dinah, a negro maid, i'm
personated the original dusky lady te

the work of making the end speech which
contained the all truthful and rather sug
gestiye remark, "We must always remem
Der that some time or other Murder viii
OUT"
The "Medical Man." Alphonso de Pickle

and Miss E. Burns, as the lady who finall.
com pels Alphonso to realize that sole

pairs, was above criticism.
Both ladies possess rare dramatic abil
ity and as result the "Medical Man
was highly enjoyed.
Miss VIM. Mccarthy, as Gypsy Countess
and Miss M. Burns as count we're hearth,
encored.
Tha1ks are returned to Messrs. Mar
tinez, Kinderman, James Sargent and j
Burns for their kind assistance in helping
equip the hall, and to j. Burns and j
