A Good Show.

The Michigan City Evening Dispatch, of Feb. 2, says: The May Vokes theatrical company began a three-nights’ engagement at the armory last evening at popular prices. The piece presented was a travesty on the “Arabian Nights.” and afforded ample opportunity for the company to display its diversified talents. The drama, or rather comedy, was a hodgepodge affair, with a comical situation at every turn and a laugh every minute. The company is remarkably evenly balanced and is by far the best ever seen here playing at popular prices. Miss May Vokes is by all bdds the star of the company. She is a clever little comedienne, whose clever acting and dancing called forth pronounced applause. She apparently has a bright futme. The balance of the company is very good indeed. A large audience was presen ; at the initial performance ana the indications are that another big house will greet the company to-night, when a triple bill consisting of roaring farces, entitled “Lady Fortune,” “Box of Monkeys” and “The Marble Arch” will be given.
