peatedIy encored.

and the people of Providence thoroughly
enjoyed the performance last evening,
which was varied, lively and laughable.
The jokes and songs were all new ana
everything up-to-date. The curtain raiser
brings forth Antoinette eye in good,
catchy songs Then follows Tom Nolan
in his up-to-datc melodies Udell and
Pearce were themselves a whole show and
Ettie Albion was thoroughly up-to-date
In her new list of songs. 1enley ana
Simonds need no introduction and their
jokes and songs were the best and latest
Mamie Whiting was very clever and the
Three Gardner Brothers in their military
act could not be excelled. The youngest
of the brothers twirled the drum stick in
way that made some of the old timers
feel away out OF the game. The grand
finale, Ienley and Simonds' New York
burlesquc, 1.-The Greazer," " made good
ending 10 an enjoyable program. The
