willie Patten and Sam Horner are
two new comedians here. but they have
established themselves as good ones,
and in future will find a hearty well

ballads.
The olio was n long one. but not tire
some and some splendid eccentric dane
ing was given by Willie Patten, while
the "genteel" act by the Horner Broth
crs. and the laughable creations by the
Hickman trio were most entertaining.

average, and much better than some
minstrel companies that have been seen
here

cents, with no extra charge for re-
served seats. Among the company will
be found the names of Monte Walker,
Dan Packard, Gilbert Clayton, Charles
Holmes and the Misses Gilman and
