Very respectfully,

Returning Favorites,
It rarely occurs that a theatrical
company on their first appearance here
creates bo favorublo an impression that
there is a popular demand for a return
engagement. Such, howover, is true
in tho caso of tho Burke-McCunn

company throughout gave good satis
faction and tho demand for a return
engagement is by no means an advertis
ing stunt on tbo part of the local
managers. Tho repertoire will bo en
tirely different from that produced
during tholr recent engagement unless
there 1b a general demand for a repro
duction of either ono of the ' three
popular bills which pleased so- well
