 THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
 The Park Theatre announces for ap- pearance on Saturday, matinee and ganza, "The Cat and the Fiddle, which is again making its successful tour under the direction of Chas. A. Sellon, the clever young producer who bids fair to overshadow the Hanlons in this field of pantomimic musical comedy. The engagement of this spectacular musical jingle will be well comed by our theatrical devotees, on whom the continual diet of the stereo- typed musical is beginning to pail. For, as an epicure is always on the outlook for a new dish, a sweet or pungent flavor to tickle the palate, so an old play-goe must of necessity be always looking and hoping for something out of the ordinary, some thing bright to tune up his jaded nerves and gives him the relief of a few hours amusement. In the "Cat and the Fiddle" everything is new and up-to-date and more than that it is something new and unlike any mu- sical entertainment, for it is spectacu- lar, pantomimic, and electrical in it's myriad features. Its comedians and clowns, it's testers and acrobats, with their countless pranks and freakish jokes keep one in constant uproar of hilarity.
