The manager of the company is a
jovial well-fed Swiss who furnishes as
much entertainment as the others
combined. and he constantly kept the
crowd in good humor. The only 9TH

a young man with marvellous ability
to yodel in tenor tones, and whose

Louisians have probably never heard
such a blending Of natural beautiful
voices as from this company. The So

only two or three times did the So
prano strike the high "e" but often

repeated cries Of admiration on the
part Of the audience.
