good attraction for the theater this week.
The production is little out of the
usual run of burlesque shows, containing
touch of melodrama from the pen of
Mr.. Graham, which took we'll with the
audience.
The titles of the two burlesques were
THE Girl from Albany and "A Texas
Desperado." Comedian Joe Opp, an old
favorite with Washington audiences, was
the creator of much genuine fun. The
principal feature of the olio is La Belle

this name for the dance was selected as
it could have been a Moon Dance" and
there would have been no difference. For
this piece the scenery was elaborate.
Other members of the company assisted
with the minor characters. Derry and
Francis were good in their comedy Of the
sidewalk variety. The Watermelon
Trust" was an added attraction and four
colored dancers and singers ended the
olio
