the dialogue deliberately pungent, while
the situations are farcial in the extreme.
The piece admits of the most elaborate
Ecenery, while the opportunities for the

See the Irish band, with Flanni
gan's Flats, in their parade at noon
next Wednesday, Dec. I4th. This fea
ture is something new and novel and is
a pleasing departure from the usual red
coat and featherrd cap parade that we
so often see on our streets. Don't let
the children miss this great free show
at noon.
Flannigaa's Fiats is three-act Irish
comedy dealing entirely with the fun
ny side ot Irish tenement life and is a
laugh from rise to fall of curtain. The
play is full of bright, witty and catchy
specialties that are cew and up to date.
This piece is running over with fun and
is calculated to make every one glad
they went, and to say it is proving suc
cessful in its mission is simply a waste
of time and' space.
