band"
1t is a breezy little comedy in one
act, telling an interesting story. how
one young man refused to marry by

the past, is delightful entertainer
After his Offering he made a timely
address in behalf Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
campaign, and urged a liberal con-
tribution from the patrons as they
passed out.
The bill at the Majestic includes
much that is pleasing. Gafney and

mental music won for them much ap-
plause. A good act was that of Jo-
sephine SaXton and Jack Farrell, en-
