Description During the vacation both heads and hands have been employed in preparing for the coming season, in order that new pieces performed by old favorites may follow each other in rapid succession, and prove that Crummles and his company are neither forgetful of nor ungrateful for the liberal patronage. The interior of the theater has been thoroughly cleansed and repainted throughout, and a new act drop has been painted by Mr. Ben Gough. The performances will consist of burlesques, extravaganzas, burlettas, vaudevilles, operettas, farces, and hits at men, manners and things in general. Three new pieces will be produced on the opening night. Full particulars in Monday's bill. The prices of admission will remain as usual. Dress circle, 50 cents. Upper boxes, 25 cents. Pit, 1 shilling. Private boxes, $5.00.
