for His Madjesty's feelinx, so the highdear was given up. I werily

"A BOOK OF BURLESQUE."
A volume most welcome on table or desk
Is DAVENPORT ADAMS's _Book of Burlesque_.
He deals with the subject from earliest days,
To modern examples and Gaiety plays.
We've extracts from PLANCHE and GILBERT to hand,
With puns ta'en from BYRON and jokes from BURNAND.
There's fun at your asking wherever you look,
And not a dull page you'll declare in the book.
You'll find it delightful, for no one Macadams
The road of the reader like DAVENPORT ADAMS.

charity, the Convalescent Home at Westgate-on-Sea had not one of the
Prominent Performers consented to become the responsible and actual
Manager of the "Theatre Royal, Inner Temple.
