Corte D'Espere's Wax Works
comes all in class to itself and just
what is its classification is difficult 20
determine Play, exhibition, show or
whatever name it may go by it was an
entirely pleasing and highly delight
fui demonstration. Sandy Owens
who took the part of Comte D'Espere
was truly star. This boy was en-
tirely at ease from his first entrance
upon the the stage and not for no
,nent did he falrer but in manner
crcditable to anyone he acted his part
admirably taking off a "Comte" Gas
per our idea of the typicaD. The
Conate was introduced to his audience
by Mr.. Dessausure Edmunds who told
Of the marvellous successes which had
followed in the path of the exhibitions
given by the Comte Of his wax figures.
The wax dolls were arrayed in
semi-circle upon the stage which
made beautiful picture as each was
dressed in some picturesquely repre-
sentative costume. AS each figure
was brought to the stage front by the
heavy porters Alexander and Ma
poleon, and wound, they each went
jerkily through their required role,
causing many ripples Of mirth to
spread around the audiences.
