Stars Offering.

Manager. Singer, of the Star theater,
announces for the coming week at his
popular theater the engagement of
Miacos City Club company. This organ

one of the leading burlesque shows on
the road, and all those who patronize such
attractions have long looked upon this
particular company as the leader" The
management has always taken great
care to offer from season to season some
thing new and original. This year they
are featuring two burlettas entitled res
pectively ''Satan's WILL" and THE Sui
tan of Ballehoho' The titles are nough
to lead one to suppose that they are go
ing to witness something that would not
do for Sunday school class, and in this
supposition they are correct, for beth
are sensational to very high degree.
The vaudeville portion of the programme
will be taken care of by Dolph and Susie
