For Lovers of Good Music

New York, 1895

The New York dramatic and operatic company will make their first appearance in Jamaica on Monday evening, May 6, at the Opera House. Miss Lillie Monajon, the brilliant and versatile young comedienne who has created a furor in the part of Lydia in "A Husband in Clover," wherever she has appeared, is at the head of this organization. Miss Agnes Tames and Miss Passi Lester of operatic fame will be heard in solos and duets. Master Burgemeister, the phenomenal boy solo pianist, and others will make it one of the most enjoyable of entertainments.
