was suggested some time ago when the

Robie,s Bnrlesquers al the Bon Ton
Theatre.

The announcement that Louis Robes
Burlesquers were to appear at the Bon
Ton last night was enough to crowd that
day nights this season camp stools had
to be provided, but last night the regu-
lar seats were sufficient to hold the au-
dience. That fact, however, is no %refiec-
tion on the entertainment. for the show is
far ahead of any given in the last three
weeks.
Frank Dupre's musical skit, Q board
the Bohemia" was the curtain raiser.
The music is very pretty and the dialogue
bright. An olio followed in which every
turn" received well merited applause, es-
pecially Van & Nobriga. with their four
EKomedy Rooms" 9TH Bogus Prince
closed the show. There is nothing partic-
ularly clever in the latter.
