Shakespeare’s admirable play “Taming the Shrew” is first on the programme. Miss Mitchell and Mr. Albaugh appearing as Catherine and Petruchio, characters which they will represent most pleasingly and artistically. A A new and laughable pantomime, entitled “Dame Trot and Her Komikal Kat,” will conclude the entertainment. Manager Keller underlines a matinee for to-morrow afternoon. This will delight the little folks.
