night at the Broadway Theater by a
large audience. If any were in doubt
beforehand about the merit of the
play, those doubts were dispelled very
shortly after the curtain rose. The
specialties were excellent and the play
was admirably staged. If anything
the company is stronger than it was
last season. Horatio Booth as the
tramp captured the audience, and the
dancing of O'Neil a of a quality cal

what artistic dancing is. The audience
enioyed the play very much, and the
managers of the opera house are to
be complimented for getting it here.
