COLONIAL THEATRE.
Comus Famous Comedy Players in Su- perb Musical Vaudeville Offering.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather and the extremely dan gerOus walking, the Comus Musical Comedy company attracted to the Co., lonial theatre last evening an audi ence of splendid proportions. A very strong political story entitled The Mayor and the Boss is enacted with the utmost fidelity to detail and is a remarkable drama to be attempted by 6 cast that includes but six people. The Artists Dream is fascinating drama in which there figures a stolen paint ing. Miss Moran, whose work here in these engagements has been one of the charms of the various changes, ap- pears as Cleopatra, the missing DOT trait. This is a spectacular little sketch and is highly successful. Miss Kathryn Deem sings a concert song of highly difficult construction and wins her hearers by it. Tom Whalen and Hen ry Curry appear in a little act which introduces some clever bits of comedy work and up-tO-date jokes. It is in the political sketch that MT. Curry is seen at his most serious side, playing the hardened district boss, and here Miss Moran is called upon to do some strong acting also. Miss Nina Gra- ham, the rOllicking little miss of the cast, sings some exceptionally smart songs Joseph Murray sings a song of his own composition, a song with a nation-wid reputation. Some Kid. This Is the last performance of the Comus Comedy company at Colonial this week. There will be fine motion pic lures today also.

 The wind is no mans friend, The days slip past.
 The years at an end What shall we give the birds, Mother.
 If Christmas time be here? The birds will come for dole, Mother
 At the end of the year. The byres are bare. There's no grain there, We have no bread nor curds What shall we give the birds? Are they white moths, Mother. That fall against the pane? No, child, no, It Is the snow That comes again. Where are the candles, Mother?
 Where are the singing bells2 Where are the Christmas chOristers,
 With their glad NOels? The birds may come again. child,
 As bells and candles will; But the young men who sang, child,
 Are very still.
