{ Professor Lees demonstration
were indeed funny and laughable l
the extreme. 1t was laughable fro'
D beginning to end each night, an
we venture to say that there We
not = dozen persons out of the or
Thousand or more who witnesse
D these demonstrations that were dis
satisfied. While every scene W;
good and laughable, those TIL
= were particularly appreciated we
d the following: The minstrels, Il
It boat scene. the fountain scene, Il
q Balloon ascension, the skirt dane
d the cake walk, the flrting.
& The probabilities are th
n Professor Lee will visit New lber
again in the near future.

" subjects were Gustave Bout
ID Homer Hanklns, Henry Brousssar
Is Lou Derouen, jim Hebert, J,
