STRICKLAND & DUSKIN
At the Academy.
"Happy Hooligan," that comic
character taken from F. Opper's
clever caricatures b Frank Dumont
and placed in fancied scenes, which
smack of reality and are spiced with
abundant side-spliting scenes and
rib-tickling wit, in which that noted
character appears, has evoked an in
stantaneous amount of enthusiasm
and won a substantial monetary sup
port such as no musical farce has
done in recent years. This big laugh
ing success with its cast of great ar
tists will apwar at the Academy of
Music on Saturday, October 1st
matinee and night. The piece spar
kles with bright lines, and the music
has a rlivme and jingle of pretty and
catchy songs up to the standard of
light opera. The principal charac
ters are in the hands of Frank Mc
Nish, John Price, Charles Graemlich,
Ruby Raymond, Eva Thatcher,
Charles Saunders and Joseph Petten
