An entertainment for the benefit of the
cemetery improvement fund will be given
in Union Hall next Friday evening by
Messrs. Bradbury, Smith and Saunders.
The program will be a varied one, consist
ing of three farces and mon0logue by Mr..
Bradbury, and everyone who has seen and
been amused by that clever comedian can
not fail to wish to report the pleasure. MIR.
Smith, during the past two years, has APP
peared here only in tragedy. Last summer

good as in the two preceding plays. Mr..
Bradbury and Mr.. Smith are under coll
tract for the coming year with II. W. Say
age, the man who was so successful with
the English production of Parsifal. Mr.:
Saunders, whose abilities are OF a varied

larity of John Luther Longs charming
play MADAME Butterfly had the role of
the Japanese lover is perhaps at his best in
