Vaudeville During Lunch Time.

There is a prospect that Currier' 5
restaurant, on Fulton street, New
York, may be converted into play
house, where continuous vaudeville will
hold forth. Merchants in the neighbor-
hood and their clerks are having heat
ed discussions over the probabilities of
success or failure Of the enterprise.
The idea is to give performances dur
ing the day, with especial attention to
the luncheon hour-say, from ~ to
e:3O-when tables will be plentifully
supplied with the best that the mar
lret affords. A citizen can pay one dol
tar at the door and not only obtain an
excellent meal, but see good show
while eating.
