McCULLUM'S THEATRE.
To be a manager of a summer theatre
for II years in your native city and to act
almost every week in a different part
during all that time and still hold the
esteem and even love of your patrons to
such an extent as to receive a most en-
thusiastic round of applause on your en-
trance in the play at every performance
is a distinction that no other man in the
theatrical business except BARLEY Nc

establish a first class company and to
present the very best of plays in the
most complete manner in this city have
been rewarded, can be seen any after

applause The sale of seats is very large
