A GOOD SHOW
The show given by the Simms
Morris Rattle Snake Oil company, last
night, was an excellent one.| Some of
the first acts wore familiar but the
parts were well taken. Some of the
jokes were a trifle rusty too, but they
wore well told. Lady Bnrdell’s talk
on snakes was very interesting. She
handled the reptiles cleverly. The
last act of the show was its feature.
The audience laughed from beginning
to end. It was a farce and a well
played one.
