of reversal of nature’s processes, the

It is a pleasure to announce the
coming of as really worthy theatrical
entertainment. We are led to be-
lieve, judging from advance reports
received, that the musical play,
“Seven Hours in New York” will
prove to. be worthy of patronage.
The play is said to be well written
with a light, consistent plot. Much
stress’ is: laid on the merit of the
songs which abound during the ac-
tion of the play. There is a fine
company, a large and well drilled
chorus and a complete scenic pro-
| duction.
