There is a treat in store for the theatre
goers of Belfast who enjoy clean, bright
comedy, at the Opera House next Saturday
night, when the comedy success of the pres

be presented for the first time in this city

retired pork packer with family of pretty
daughters and an unextinguishable social
ambition is the centre of the plot. A fast
son, who to get himself out of one of
his escapades makes barber play the
post of a theosophist, is another main
