While the bill doea not (mssess the sensational features or the exceptional novelty that has held Interest during the past three weeks. It Is ftturulvii on a different plan, and Its principal strength lies In comedy, and certainly comedy has been a acarce feature for some time past. People like to laugh and there Is a good long and hearty laugh waiting, and the lid fs going to be broken open with this bill. The Sisters Klenora created one of the strongest comedy hits of the sea son during their engagement at the Bi jou last season, as the features of one of the strongest musical comedy com pany organisations that was offered, and It Is possible that they have not been forgotten. Morris and Morris, the English ec- centrlqties, will offer something quite away from the average run vaude ville. They have been star (avi /rites In Kurope, and their American engage ments have been exceedingly pleasing and successful. The other numbers on the bill are of strong Interest, and In all It seems that the atti action will be more than well received. TRY A WANT AD IN THE GEORGIAN lly {'(Irate Leased Wire.
