ture of the public as he. During last
week he was the talk of the town. Peo-
pie retold his jokes over dinner tables
and at the club, and every one agreed
that he was the cleverest entertainer
and most irresistible humorist that was
ever heard in the city. Prominent men
attended the theater to hear what Ran
some would say about them. Every night
he had something new and every time he
struck in some unexpected quarter and
always with the same pointed pleasant
ry, that delig hted all and offended none.
Ransone has a SURPRISING genius for
humor. His very look is funny. When
he comes out made up as Boss Croker
the audience bushes to catch his first
word. He stands silently, looks around
a moment, then an indeScriba BILE twinkle
spark.les in his eyes, smile to match
breaks out over his face, and by that
time he has captured every occupant of
the house and they greet him with pro-
longed applause. From that on he keeps
every one roaring and never succeeds in
getting away without giving repeated
encoreS. RanSone is the highest sala-
ried artist that ever played at the Or
pheum, and it is no eXaggeration to say
that he is the best.
Morton and Mack are also leaders in
their line. No Irish comedians who have
appeared here in a long time have ever
fellows. Their work is not broad in any
sense, but is characterized by the most
subtle portrayal of the genuine Irish
man. In their new turn which they pre-
sent this week theiEpeculiar abilities
will appear to the best advantage. Mack
will be on hand with his musical bag
pipe and the agile Morton will introduce
some new jigs with his most humorous
variations of laughter and jest.
