Mr. Davis fully sustained the reputation which has preceded him of being an entertainer of unusual merit. His repertoir of tricks was unsusally mystifying and entertaining. Possessed of a pleasing stage manner. Mr. ?avis' explanations and monologues proved to he very humorous and diverting. His relations with the audience were intimate and friend ly and marked with the personal touch. FJ; far the largest audience of the season was on hand to witness Mr. Davis' performance. With an audience equally as large to hear the ?ext number, which will he John Kendrick Bangs, the famous humor-5 ist, the season will close on a satisfactory financial basis. The Conway Chamber of Commerce, under whose auspices the Lyceum course is being presented, is very anxious to end the course without a deficit, and hence, a generous patronage of the public will be warmly appreciated. w. o. w.
