without a modification of its methods,
remains to bo seen. The wish is often

day evening, the Kiand oratorio, " Kli

satisfactory presentation of this work
ever jjiven in Lincoln.
Thuro was some criticism of the or

merited. Tho trouble was that instead
of calliiiK in outside professional as

reads of tho wonderful success of

only two years an this manager who
now has New York by the heels was
stranded in Lincoln, but such is the
truth. Itice came here from St. .loo
wit ha nightmare called "Tho World's
Fair." and meetiiiK (he dramatic editor
of Tin: ('(iiiUKii the lilaud mnuiiKcr

was superior to anything ho had over
presented, "better even than Evange

came and about forty people paid ad
mission at tho Funko to see a theatri
cal atrocity of the most wretched type.
"The World's Fair" wasa trashy hodvo
podtfo of commonplace tricks and vul
var dialogue, interpreted by a pictur
esque collection of exceedingly dizzy
females who tried to put on a clieorfiii
appearance notwithstanding tho tact
that they had not received any salary
for weeks, intorsporsed'horo and there
