WESTMINSTER THEATRE.

To those who love a good chorus and
all that goes-with lively musical numbers
together with rather elaborate scenery
the display OF the Bon-Ton Burlesquers
offers much that is attractive this week
at the Westminster. In addition to the
foregoing there is also several bits Of clev-

most entertaining attractions that have
been offered at this amusement place for
some time.
