ganization of its kind in America,

prices. They carry car load of

and claim to have the best singing
and dancing chorus of any show ON
the road. Mr.. linn, the founder
and owner, has spared no time or ex-
pense to make this attraction one
of the best musical shows in the
country, and judging from the fiat
tering press notices the show has re-
ceived, it must set very high stand

an exceptionally large one, number
ing thirty people. The wardrobe
used in their productions was all
made and designed in foreign coun-
tries. Already inquiries are coming
into the box office. AS to when tickets
