The show will consist of seven acts, seven beautiful changes of scenery, oostumes and eleatrical effects. Fifty-four people will be required in the cas t an d ei ght super s, making a total of sirty-two people on my stage. A three thousand dollar production of art pictures, the handsomest ever seen in America and headed by the beautiful HELEN WESTERN, will close the show. P.

HAMMERSTEIN, ME. PAT CASEY, and DOCTOR IrOTHROP for their kind and generous vaudeville offers. Also Wish to state that my old aide-kick, ANDY LEWIS, leaves mo this season to go in busiress for himself. I wish him every success, and only hope he will be as successful aa I have been. And this same wish goes for every one on earth, as 'Tve got mine." "Give me credit." Good-by, good night and good luck. Your old pal*
