PROCTOR'S NEWARK.
With the waning summer the bills
at Proctor's Newark Theatre are
gradually improving if there can be
any improvement in the wonderful
programs that have been in order at
this place of amusement. Europe
vies with America in giving their
best to make up a stellar bill for the
week of August 27th. Headed by
no less a parsonage than Miss Julie

Blanche Ring, and Roland Sargent,
producing a n act comedy sketch
entitled, "A Quiet Life" dealing
with the troubles of a young married
couple, in which, after the honey
moon is over, hubby's am%ourousness
Is considerably cooled down. The
playlet deals with the little ruse
willy resorted to in order to awaken
hubby's dormant love. Miss Ring and
Mr.. Sargent are both clever actors,
and make the most out of the many
amusing situations that arise.
A merry melange of mirth and
music is SURF to be furnished ny the
foremost of Americas quartettes,
they who represent the Quaker City.
They appear in the picturesque garb
of blacksmiths and get mirth and
music from all the implements of
the trade of a hardy smithy. Noster,
Houghton and Mosher, best of all
comedy cyclists, will be sure to be
warm 'favorites with their original
comedy, coupled with their perfect
control of their cycles. The good
terpsichore will be sure to sit up
and take notice when John Gleason
and his accomplished sister, Bertha,
beat time to the accompaniment of
Fred Houlihan at the piano.
