DeWey-The Bon Tons.


Good .burlesque shows are numerous
lesque has been advanced, in obedi-
ence to popular demand. Sensible and
up-to- date managers have come to the
conclusion that the old methods would
not. do-that the public demanded a
radical change, and the wise ones have
made the change accordingly. The star
burlesque entertainments of the cur
rent season are as good to see, as anus
ing to hear, and as thoroly enjoyable
as the high-toned musical comedies or
the swell extravaganzas. Smut and
coarseness, an unpleasant feature of the
old-time shows, have been eradicated,
and the managers who persisted in send
ing out such shows have been driven
into oblivion.
Foremost among the shows that -four
lsh under the new order of things is
Rush s Bon Tons,' a company which
is gaining fame as the season advances.
The Bon Tons have every requisite for
big and successful show. They have
the music, the dresses, the scenery, the
stagings, the comedians, and, above all,
the pretty women. Their entertain
ment is the best that time, money and
long stage training could provide, and
the most captious critics find nothing
wrong or offensive from one end to
the other Of their program.
Edw. F. Rush, the manager of the
Bon Tons, which will play at the Dewey
theater for one week, beginning matt
nee tomorrow, has collected an excep-
tionally strong array of comedians and
coryphees, speciality stars and hilarious
sketch teams. Both the vaudeville and
burlesque departments are well looked
