"BROW MS IN TOWN"

Browns In Town" is the clever title
of the latest farce, which will be given
it's first presentation in this city on Jan
uary 2. The lines in Browns In Town
are said to be brilliant and witty, and
upon investigation one finds that there
are great many reasons for Brown re-
naming in town. Brown is an assumed
name and is good fellow, not the farce
comedy good fellow, but a manly man.
The tone Of Browns In Town is said
to be above the average farce, but it is
none the less amusing, and it is all the
