As artists they are the peers of the profession ana the quality of the work done by them is without equal.

The performance given by this company is first class in every particular. It abounds in comedy, side-splitting situations and comical sayings but is conspicuous by the absence of vulgar expressions, rude action, etc. The most fastidious may attend without the fear of

hearing or seeing word or action that will bear on their finer feelings, as the members of the company are all ladies and gentlemen. They | have been greeted with crowded houses all over the country, and the press and public have been loud in their praise for the quality of work done by them.
