The members Of this company do not
confine themselves to playing excel
lent violin solos, banjo duets and har-
mony ensembles, but show versatility
in giving exhibitions Of toe dancing
and some clever soft shoe dancing
which in itself would be SUFFICIENT TO
capture any audience. The scene,

overlooking the bay. furnishes q
beautiful background for the work OF
these accomplished artists, who, max
ing three complete changes Of cos
tune and putting their numbers over
in a clean, quick and thorough man

any bill they appear. "Dreamland.
