lustration that the world is very small

into the cast I'm tired of being con-
sidered comedian" said ne. at isn't
board of trade to make a fool of him
self on the stage. It's about time peo-
pie began to take me seriously. I'm a
serious man, really. This soldiers re-
lief work is enough to make a tomb

that ever helped conduct a minstrel
show, and I was never violently hui
morous. AS for singing, we'll the least

This city has probably never had as
many really excellent theatrical pro-
ductions as it is now getting in the Ly-
ceum. The management is crowding
every week full of attractions that no
one likes to miss. In the past fort
night such plays as "Off and On"
"Monbars," Under the Red Robe"
THE Prisoner of Zenda," and THE
War Correspondent" have been
seen successfully, with the fine opera
of "El Captain" besides. These are
mentioned as illustrating a disproof of
the statement that the public today
demands coarseness, indelicacy and
low comedy in general. The public ap-
preciates such pure and beautiful pre-
sentations as "The Little Minister" and
THE 1oosier Doctor 1t is a pleasure
to note that the Lyceum management
seems disposed to respond to this taste
by affording the best attractions to be
secured.
