sively colored audiences, supported

he appears In the great play-houses Of

and actors Of the United States, he is
supreme In the humorous, chaste and
transcendent ability he displays in
pleasing the audiences.
HIGH PRICES FOR TICKETS.
Robinson was hungry. He had MOI
found a place to eat after leaving the
factory and supplying his wants.
and my own caused me to be some
thing more than a half hour late at
the theatre. People were trying to
purchase tickets. Most Of them the
higher priced ones were sold. I part
ed with three good paper. dollars in
United States currency $3.50 each for
two seats and then marched I'D to
