the prince of comedians, and his ex-

during the past ten years appeared in
all the principal towns and cities in
the United States, and established a
reputation of which he is justly proud.
He has returned mady times to the
same places always meeting with un-
qualified success. From the opening
to the close of mis- season he is greeted
everywhere with large and delighted
audiences. The reason for his success
artistically and financially are obvi-
Gus. His comedy is always bright and
delightfully."- refreshing, and while he
convulses his audiences with laughter
there is never the faintest suggestion
If coarsness or vulgarity. His sue
cess in securing the very best artists
TO support h., his desire to equal or
exceed the promises made in his ad-
vertising, and steadfast determination
TO Railways keep the confidence of the
people, these principles carefully fol
lowed out have made his name house

d first class performance.
