Miaco,s rrocadero Theatre.

Hotel de Cakewalk," farce of the
most ludicrous variety, and can Irish
Lord brimful Of nonsense and pretty
women, will be the chief numbers on
the programme at Miaco's Trocadero
next week, when the Twentieth Gen.
tury Sports take possession of the
stage. This company is made up of
clever entertainers, good comedians,
and shapely girls, and their sojourn at
this theater ought to be one of the
banner events of the summer season.
Numerous good specialties, vocal aero
batic, knockabout, and terpsichorean,
will be rendered; there will be an
Oriental pasmala, a new series of
tempting living pictures, and, in gen
eral, programme trimming over with
fun and iollity.

the credit, who. by the way, is one
