sure winner before he takes II to

two has all the chances in its favor.
Mr.. Brady has chosen a special cast,
including several actors from the orig
inal casts of Potash and PerlmutteT

OF what his fantastic majesty remarks
during the play. that love is one thing

ever seen here. Is to show how evil
thoughts prompting evil actions, play
havoc with domestic happiness. 1t is
a clever Offering and is in very good
