gregation OF clever people are found
grouped together In one company. The
music is good, the songs catchy and the
libretto full of wit and humor, and di-
vining the three acts there is not dull
moment. the action of the play being
kept up at a very lively rate.
While the piece is largely Of a musi-
cal nature much of the fun is produced
by the very clever comedians, and in
this respect w. III. Lytell, who is the
author Of the libretto, is a whole show
i'm himself AS Hiram Prindle, from
Skowhegan, Maine, he occupies the
centre OF the stage and is the main
laugh producer. Joseph kerney and
Charles II. Clarke are also comedians OF
a very funny type and they also keep
things moving at rafting gait.Among
the vocalists Miss Marie Lane is by far
the finest singer i'm the company, her
voice being clear, strong. sympathetic
and carefully trained. Other members
of the company also sing very pleasing

indeed produces fully as much fun. IL
not more so. than any Of the male COM
edians.
While there are very few Of what is
generally known as specialties, there
are one or two cake walks. which are
very cleverly worked up, and John Ter
ry and Mabel Lambert made quite
hit with their operate selections. Jo-
seph Kerney and Miss He'll. aided by
two young colored boys do some clever
coon songs. and Charles II. Clarke APP
pears in quite an amusing and original
monologue. The boot-black quartet and
the New York Journal poster girl are
also among the attractive features of
the performance.
The best thing of all, however. is the
marvellous performance or the four
Nelson Sisters. whose ground and
lofty tumblng has not been surpassed
by any acrobatic work seen i'm this city
for many years. "Gayest Manhattan"
taken altogether, is a first class per-
Torrance with handsome costumes and
appropriate scenery. and will be repeat
ed every afternoon and evening during
the present week.

Bryant & Watson's Australian Beau

The electrical effects and scenery are
especially pleasing TO the eye; the cho-
ruses are far above the average, and,
while there is nothing startling pre-
sented by the large company that is out
OF the ordinary, there is a snap and a
vim that answers the purpose, for no
one can say that the show is not a
good one. The curtain raises on a mu-
sical conception entitled The Type

stage full Of pretty girls and all of the
comedians take part.

kelth's New Theatre

Christmas at Keith's New Theatre
was record breaker i'm the history OF
theatricals i'm this city. The number
of people who were turned away were
numbered i'm the thousands. while some
5000 people attended the performance.
Many patrons OF the house stayed un-
usually long. being obvious OF every
thing but their enjoyment Of the seast
OF good entertainment Mr.. Keith had
furnished. Some of those who attended
the performance yesterday attended
the continuous performance for the
first time, and some of these first visit
ors showed by the amount of time they
gave TO the entertainment their hearty
appreciation of the to them novelty.
The sidewalk in front OF the theatre
was often blocked during the afternoon,
as the management only disposed OF
tickets in accordance with the number
coming out OF the theatre. The filling
OF the house was done very quickly
after the time set for the opening, and
what the management had TO do was
to, of course, keep patrons away. Every
one who sought ticket seemed TO have
a keen appetite and an earnest convic-
tion that the show was the proper thing
for the afternoon or evening. The man
agement conducted matters so that
everything went along as satisfactorily

ranged for North Kingstown was final

Private wages amounting to $50 were

There was gnashing OF teeth, but
IL was not deemed advisable TO send

of the party suggested sending for a

with the proposition to send
representatives, to congress who
believe in and endorse the Chica-
platform. It does make a differ
ence if a congressman is elected
who is committed to the free sill
yer folly and the conservative
portion Of the people fully realize
this fact. For this reason should
the real issue be kept before the

keep the vital question in view.
To say that the silver ques ton
is no issue in this campaign is a
dishonest declaration on the part
of the democrat who makes the
statement, because he knows

did the Democratic convention
