comedy creation with an abundance of

In other words, itt purpose it to divert
rather than to engross the attention.
It believe the general opinion that a
farce comedy cannot have a coherent
plot. In point of fact, it ha a scheme
of interest that run throughout the
entire play, and makes a very good rack
upon which to hang a series ol specialty
performances of a high order and en
joyable nature.
Tbit musical comedy fairly scintillates
with mirth and , merriment, has tbe
