the performance a second time. Earl

looking young man, and his music is
entirely original. Miss Babbie Starr
Is a very lively soubrette, who sings
and dances coquettishly to the delight
of the audience. Joseph Manley sang
a beautiful illustrated ballad, There's

1.-THE Two Dads" Messrs. Smith and
Warren's Offering at Flschers this
week, abounds in realistic Partisan
humor, toned down just a bit by Billy
Onslow's Irish comedy. "Harrigan,
sung by Onslow, is the big musical hit
