FRIED ITCWIN'S MAJESTIC BUR.
LESQUERS COMING.

OF the many buIiesque and vaude-
vile organizations yearly placed upon
the road, very few are successful
enough TO attract more than passing
attention. The Majestic Burlesquers.
which is said to be Fred Irwin's most
successful production, however, is one
cf those few that has made every.
where a most pronounced success. This
is due to the fact that none but the
tSzt Of entertainers find room on the
bin. and consequently the performance
is one Of solld merit from beginning
ito end.
Cme OF the features Of the show is
lAe presentation OF Charles Il. TaylOr's
original burlesque farce. "The Street
Fair" said to be a clever satire on tho
Latest Western craze. In this the many
funny comedians and other members
eff the company have an excellent op-
pCleunity Of introducing a number OF
characters new to the vaudeville stage,
and this is dcne in a manner that is at
once autigr,c ard Interesting. There
are sevecel r~e.ty ensembles during
the action of the buresque, and the
strength of the company is augmented
by q large and efficient chorus. at the
head oi which is pretty and talented
Grace Vaughn, ele Acknowledged
queen OF extravaganza.
The vaudeville pOution Of the bill is
marked by pure excellence, and here
will be Witnessed an array of the best
sc5cialties that Europe and America
have contributed to the vaudeville
stage. Foremost on the list are Zeno,
Karl and Zeno. the celebrated French
gymnas.s, whose act has been the sen.
saticn CT the metropolis since their
arrival in this country some months
ago. E.ckel and Watson, those pre-
mers of Dutch comedy, introduce one
of their latest Efforts at English
tutchmy, which never fails to convulse
an audience with laughter; the Car
montell sisters have good character

tic skill; George S. Belts and Reynolds.

We cannot understand why some
people insist that the Democratic parity
is disgraced by the action Of three of

one more sinned against than shining.
