decision was reached by Mr.. Proctor
during the recent engagement of
"Cashel Byron's Profession" when
nearly every dramatic writer in New

the best light comedians on the
stage. He is of the opinion that
there will be considerable interest
in seeing Mr.. Corbett in a comedy of
the Willie Collier order, and has Sc
cured for this purpose Mr.. Smooth"
which will not only afford the ex-
pugilist a fine opportunity to display
his individual ability, but will also
provide excellent yarts for Amelia
Bingham, A. H. VanBuren, James
Young and all the other members of
this fine company. MI. Smooth"

haitian with Willie Collier in the
title role. Mr.. Corbett will sustain
the principal part and Miss Bingham
will play the role created by Louise
Allen Collier.
