lions of amusement seekers, for the
reason of its many sided claims of SUI

developed plot to guide the action OF

to possess such novelty of scenes and
incidents as would naturally enhance
the value of it's character as an enter

treme. Evidently those who have the
financial interests of Gay New York
at heart have not overlooked the ne
cessity for providing such a pretty girl
contingent of players and singers as
may be relied upon for all manner of
entertainment ideas, and especially
that class of girls who add ito their
personal charms by being able to gown
themselves with startling distinction.
