stage tonight and tomorrow night at
the Hyperion. There will be matinee
Saturday. The Boston Herald, in its
issue of February 10, says Dan DAILY
is always surprising his friends by the
novelty Of his impersona ton, and the
bright things which he has introduced
in The Belle of New York are among
the funniest things that this popular
comedian has ever shown his Boston
friends. His work gives more enjoy
ment than anything of the sort that
has been seen in Boston for years. Like
all Casino productions, this is con-
glomeration of fun by genuinely funny
people, and of bright, tuneful lyrics
which theatergoers heartily enjoy
From start to finish it is mirth-provok-
ing. and its humor Is of the cleanest
order. The cast has undergone many
changes since the Bellies" last APP
pearance here, but in no respect has it
been weakened while in several places
it has been materially strengthened.
The company numbers more than 100
performers, its comedians are of the
best, and it's chorus girls the prettiest
and shapeliest, while the costumes are
a wealth of richness and novelty. Sale
of seats now open. Prices, matinee ST,
TIC and soc. Night, $780, 81 and 75c.
There has been good advance sale.
