The ignominious collapse OF Mr. Low

Popular Theater.
London's Gaiety Theater is about to
end its career Of thirty-hve years.
There is an end to all things. how

at length the fat has gone forth fixing
the date Of the final performance to be
given at the famous playhouse The
evening Of Saturday. July 4. has been
selected for the event in question. and.
as may easily be imagined. many are the
playgocrs who have already advanced
claims TO be present on so momeutous
an occasion.
1T VIII also be understood that Mr.
George Edwardes Is not the man to al
low that occasion to pass without some
special mark Of recognition. IN point OF
fact, the matter is one to which he is at
present giving very particular attention.

the program shall consist Of The Tore
ador' and The Linkman. But as every
one knows. both pieces are composed Of
a singularly elastic texture and can thus
be heightened or shortened with the
greatest possible ease. Into them. there

THE approaching close Of the Gaiety

and probably never has a theater been
more genuinely loved by its habitues."
