A MIDSUMMER THEATRE OPENING

, A theatrical opening in midsummer Is rather an
anomaly but the size of the audience-to say moth

cation Of the foresight OF Messrs. Klaw s. Erlang-
err. and the Carrie Amusement Company. in pro-
tecting this innovation.
The programme says OF the piece that II rs
neither light or comic opera. musical or tarcial
comedy. buriesque or extravaganza. but merely a
musical melange. containing some of the good
points of them all. and introduced for the sole
purpose OF presenting beauty. laughter and song"
