last evening by the merry bunch of

the best that has ever been presented
here.

laughter. John Frenkel and Vincent
Bruno took leading parts in this por-
ton of the program and their song
numbers were especially well rendered.
Their jokes were of the latest vim

work seen on local stages, and would
have done credit to Fields or Neil

spIendidly rendered and merited the
applause given.

cracked some of his latest jokes and
expressed some sentiments of the time
in his song, "Say It With Liquor"
The afterpiece, 1.-THE Sultan of Fan

kept the audience in an uproar in it's

very good work.
