No other comedy in recent years has

above the average and as pretty,
nimble nd tuneful a chorus as was
ever seen on tour. Buster Brown,
has been termed a positive hit during
the last nine seasons wherever it has
been presented.
Never has the wit of r. F. Out
cault, the author Of Buster Brown
New York's musical comedy success,
which will be een at the Grand on
December IA, been so spontaDe ous or
so provocative of genuine laughter as
in this play. This season the man
agement has provided this production
with a cast that is far above the
average and contains voices that go
near making it a grand opera produc-
tion. Johnny McCabe as Buster ably
supported by d. f. Murphy as "Tige,"
and a large chorus of sunbursts and
roses which are blessed with nimble
toes as well as wonderful voices, go
far into the land Of fun to make the
old happy in the forgetfulness Of their
age and the young swell with pride at
their youth.
