splendidly as burnt cork comedians,
with Mr.. Phil Baer as interlocutor,
while the singing and dancing by the
company was excellent. The feature
of the entertainment was the song and

monoloeue by Mr.. Phil Baer was above
the average, and, together with his
comic songs, kept the audience in q
continuous uproar of laughter. Mr..
Baer's sentimental songs were highly
appreciated. The acrobatic and con-

entitled San Asylum for Crazy Actors"
Several of the troupe were recipients of
