KATCHA-KOO CLOSES
ENGAGEMENT HERE.
Best Local Talent Performances Ever
Seen Here, is Verdict of Critics.

Last night, for the third consecutive
night Katcha-Koo's famous shirt
spread its benign influence. and ev-
erybody was happy and carefree. A
well filled house reflected back the
toyousness that ra6iated from the
stage, and both entertainers and en-
tertained delighted in the final perfor-
nance of "Katcha-Koo."
Local opinion, always unsparingly
critical OF local talent, pronounces this
by far the best production OF its kind
that has ever been attempted In Pen
sacola, and those who have labored in
the undertaking must feel amply re-
warded, for there have beer lavish
words of praise for all connected with
il. The antics of Katcha- Koo in his
more ''peppery" moments have caused
much appreciation, but the half hour
when he stood motionless before the
temple has not received sufficient no
tice; that was not the least difficult
portion of his part.
The work of the orchestra was also
receiving much favorable comment
from those who attended last nights
performance In fact every partici-
pant, from Katcha-Koo down through
the dancers and the young ladies who
were attractively adroned in a ruffle,
to the fellow in the orchestra who
made a noise like ghost in knot
hole on a dark night, contributed TO
the wonderful success of this bright
little comedy
