lpft THEE NEW YORK CLIPPER. A *RIM8. EASTER LILIES Are the correct tiling In tbe (lorn) line at this stage of the game, and that's why wc-ve got a bunch of them. Of course, there are numerous varieties, but tbo one we have Ik the finest. We coll It toe "Longrorem," and we'll take chances that you'll pronounce our specimens perfect In form, color, fragrance and all of the other points tbnt go to make up the standard of judgment. There's ono point on which we bare all tbe others beaten—there Is no fear of frost, for our lilies generate heat enough to banish all thoughts of frigidity. To tell the truth, they are rather fond of Ice—when It Is In a bucket with a bottle reposing In It and a few long-stem mors on the side. Our display Is on exhibition every afternoon and evening, AT THE) OLD HOWARD ATHENAEUM BOSTON MASS (America's Oldest Variety and Burlesque Theatre) WEEK OF AP RIL 13 THE TOHIlin TRAPEZIST CHARM,ON Without doubt the strongest single attraction the variety ■ stage has ever known. Would that we could engage her for an entire sea- son. Bhe's the greatest trapeze performer of the day, - while lier marvelous muscular de- velopment Is the wonder of every one who watches her performance. As usual, she In- troduces some fresh feats of strength and skill, and several new itlrsome episodes. LOTTIE GIL80N "The Little Magnet," unquestionably the Queen of American comediennes. What she nin t do to tho Wlllleboys Isn't worth doing. No singer of the day can express every bit of the fun or sentiment that a song contains as she can. You're pleased to flna yourself a good conductor when Lottie turns on the current. FIVE JVOOUNO JOHNSONS Second and final week of their engage- ment. The moat dexterous club Jugglers of this or any other day. Their last appear- unces In this country for over a year, as they sail for England the 22d of this month, rn- routo to St. I'etershurg, llussla, where they are to open May lOtb. TOBY LYONS He hatched out a brood of new "lllnkey DeeUta" during his week's layoff. That choir of cute comediennes, Gladys Fisher, Kitty Bingham, Nellie Hartford and Kitty Hartford, assists him, as usual. • •■ ROBERTS. HAYES and ROBERTS A trio of mlrthmnkcrt who present ono of the most laughable comediettas that ever happened behind a curtain line. "Tbo In- fant" Is Its title, but It la a giant as a de- stroyer of. the blues. MADDOX and WAYNE "The Messenger Boy and the Thespian." A team of talkers whoso tattle Is not of the torn and tattered typo, but Is fresh and furiously funny. BARR and EVANS Andy Barr, the accurate portraycr of the ancient "Rube," and Florence Evane. n.i Jolly a "Jestercss" oh ever Jested. A pair of laughmakers whose merry act abounds In eccentric conceits. ■'••••• FANNIE EVERETT famous as a fine looker and a sweet singer. She's one of the swellest ever. * . JOE MAUK FlkiLOS and WOLLEY They .are two of Comedy's best friends, and can always (ouch for a roll of laughs. TOLEDO A contortionist who does a strikingly novel act A twister from Twlstvlllo. ..WW TOM J. CHOWLliV One of Boston's own entertainers, n member of the former Arm of Lyons aud Crowley. A clever mimic, story-teller and parodist. HANSON and HARRIS "Tho. Chinaman and the Mischievous Kid." A rattling good pair of acrobatic comedylsts. RAMSEY SISTERS Accomplished peifurmera upon a variety of Instruments. They mix a little humor with their harmony. ' JAMES NEARY As a Celtic comedian Jimmy la certainly among the real ones. THE BURLESQUE ' We are still traveling along Novelty lload Hue] cutting out a very fast clip. This week's travesty has a military tinge, and Is called A FROLIC IN CAMP You'll be willing to surrender when you see the soldiers wo hare on guard.
