Wayne, for four nights and two mail- ! nees, starting Sunday afternoon There are over fifty ia the company, and the'- into 'he school-day l:'o depicted with a natural vim. All the songs are lively and full of catchy music and the airs are always caught up by the gallery. Hedman Timbers is creating new friends daily with bis delineations of Issy Devi, the Russian boy violinist, poor and friendless, and he indulges in a great deal of good natured humor and dancing ing. His support includes most, of those who have been with the company since it opened and had its run at the Circle theater in New York. Nearly all the old songs are retained this year, with the addition of others that are certain to become just as great favorites. The little Irish. Jewish and American boys in company with their “sweethearts of calico days,” have a great variety of snappy songs, which are saucily sung. MASONS, NOTICE! All members of the Decatur Chapter, 112, R.
