daily at the Gaieiy Theater, New York
for over a week, will not be performed
again except in an expurgated form until
the courts decide whether or not the show
is indecent and liable TO injure the morals

pantomime was omitted. This was the

chamber to wait outside the bedroom
door for his wife to undress.

the pantomime. The newly welded

bed and proposes to remain in the room
while his wife disrobes. The wife wants
him TO retire until she gets in bed. lie
