In the presentation of "Shanty Town" the author announces that his sole am bition was to land his patrons at their destination with happy hearts and good wishes. There was no attempt to in struct or to preach a sermon. Poetry sentiment emotion and tragedy did not figure in the construction of the piece. In fact it may be remarked in all can dor, that the author of "Shanty Town'' is a benefactor. As a hearty laugh is better than a physic, "Shanty Town" may not, strictly speaking, be a "joy foreyer", but it is a good thing while it lasts. A car load of special scenery is carried by the company for this produc tion, which will be seen at the Park Theatre, one night only, Friday Feb. 0.
