However, tbe altaattons «re flnely acted, from . the standpoint of tbe conception of the author, . bat the idea of the sketch l%^Jn itself, a vagary Of art.

He has bad several flattering offers for the fall and winter, but will remain with hte family at raeveland. Bajab, his daughter, makea one at the most perfect subjects for his hypnotic act that the writer has ever seen. Louis Kline, the clown Juggler. Is proving very popular with tbe children at Luna Park. Be says be likes to amuse them. At the Plaia Theatre, Lnna Park, is the Bert Marshall Moslcal Comedy Company, while the Hippodrome haa a drcua that la playing to large bouaea.
