The show cams te tha Marquam Grand Jaat night bearing marks of its former gorgeousness and as tiresome as ever. It is doubted if' a comedian at a local theatre ever worked so many melancholy old gags as did Barney Bernard-last night- or. If a musical comedy dragged itself over two hours-and -a half with ao lltue music ;inat waa oven passable. The comedy tells a story of a king and quaea end their daughter, Prtnceas Beautlfut There is a good iairy tnar. gives the child four virtues and ev witch that decrees that oa bar sixteenth birth day she shall go to sleep tor 100 years. Then ev gallant knight Prlnoe Charm lar wakens her with a ktas. It Is a light pretty conceit, which. If enacted well and consistently, mignt nave roaae a pleasing entertainment.
