 "The Yankee Prince" with George NJ. Conan and His Royal Family is the sensational success of the summer at the Knickerbocker theater, New York.

" The entire Conan family, father, mother, son and daughter are again united in The Yankee Prince, " which will run all summer at the Knickerbocker.

 God alone can create such an one. sa>~ss.ss.<~s>...-.
