AMUSE N ENTS.
Navin Bros. Vaudeville and Bioscope Company

Gave another performance. Saturday
evening, TO an audience of about 100. The
actors performed their parts with as
much vim and snap as could have been
expected before such slim house. The
entertainment was deserving of better
patronage and doubtless would have re-
ceived it had the managers understood
their business as well as some who have
brought similar shows here before The
clog dancing was first-cIass. containing
many new features. Other specialties
were good and up to date. The Bioscope
pictures were good. but hacked distinct
ness, apparently due to insufficient light
behind the instrument On the whole. il
was good entertainment for the price
asked.
For the benefit of our fellow publishers,
we will state the Journals experience
with the proprietors and managers. Hav-
ing run liberal notices for their show to
the amount of over Sill at the request of
their advance agent, the journal thought
they would doubtless be glad to recipro-
cate as is customary in such cases,
aud called their attention to the
matter. They rather reluctantly gave us
for that night only. all of which were not
used. Not receiving any for the second
night we naturally supposed the matter
had been overlooked, and at O'Clock sent
request for a few tickets for editorial
use, and which, by the way, was n con-
siderably less number than is always
freely rendered us without even the
asking by the best and highest
priced shows. The manager APP
peared to be surprised that the
Journal should expect any more favoTs
after their "iberality'' the previous
night but finally handed them out. Upon
presenting their bill for job printing and
advertising, and reeeipting the same at
their request. our agent found that they
had deducted full price for each and ev-
cry ticket given. His request for correc-
ton met with a fat refusal, even when
he rendered back the tickets. A call on
them later by the business manager of
the Journal, disclosed the fact that ii was
Mr. Navin himself who paid the bill in
this sharp manner. The amount involved
at the low price of admission, was too
small to resort to any legal measures for
| collection, but we think our fellow pub
| fishers will be interested to know of this
| company's unique business ideas.
