Cicero says: “It is the peculiar faculty of fools to discover the faults of others at the same time that they forget their own.’’ Boileau says further: “This world is full of fools and he who w-ouldn’t wish to see one, must not only shut himself up alone, but also must break his own lookinglass.” “The Whitney Musical Comedy Co , the peer of all theatrical colored organizations, has a new offering this season.

Tutt Whitney is the leading fun maker in this incomparable piece, and he does more than ample justice to his many opportunities. There are three acts of mirth, interspersed with songs that are sure to be whistled before the company’s engagement is over. The scenic embellishment is of a high order, and the costumes, settings and other essential features are of the kind that help moke shows of this caliber successful.
