Much as the critical theatregoer af-
fects to beiittle low comedy IN histri-

upon an epigraln or a paradox. In the
last act of Girls VIII BE. Girls" which
IS soon to be seen at the Grand Opera
House. Al Leech. who appears as the
professor Of dead languages. has a bit
Of purely acrobatio comicality which j.
sufficiently ingenious to have won
praise wherever seen. The setting in
this act represents the interior Of an
astronomical observatory. Mr.. Leech,
who has accidentally acquired a very
considerable lag attempts to climb a
spiral staircase to a huge telescope.
Spiral staircases are sufficiently difi-
cult to ordinary persons, but to a man
with a premature fit of dizziness they
must be very dreadful. Mr.. Leech
spends ten minutes getting to the top
of this one and falling into the mouth
of the telescope is shot out Of the other
end at the. very place from which he
started.

becks trained animals at the Opera House
