II the reception accorded Polk Miller,
Oscar Z. Sisson, and Miss Ester Wallace
at the Academy of Music last evening
may be taken as an indication Of what
awaits them on their long tour, the trio
will have no reason to regret their con-
soIidation.
Mr.. Miller's familiarity with the negro
a knowledge having for its basis keen
observation and a retentiye memory
and his unusually faithful powers of in
depreciation, make his position as pub

no rival I'm his peculiar field.
The public is so we'll acquainted with
Mr. Sisson and Miss wallace that 1t will
only be necessary TO say OF them that
their performance was perfectly in keep
ing with the high standard OF the en-
tertainers. Nature fully intended Mr..
Ssson for a funny man. when she gave
him his mobile face and his perception OF
humor. while the grace and vivacity OF
Miss Wallace are such as TO give her a
peculiar fitness for association with this
comedian.
