Aurora Floyd.

This new piece was brought out at Growers
Theatre, last night, by Mrs. Drew's combination
company, in superior manner, to the qualification
OF an unusually large audience. The piece was
well cast, and was well performed throughout
Mrs. Drew's acting was particularly good and Miss
E. Price charmed everybody.
Mr.. j. NJ. Ward made a decided hit in the part Of
"steve HargraveS, the Softly" by his makeup and
his acting. He displayed more real power in this
eccentric and difficult part than we have ever OBJ
served in him before. The story of Aurora Floyd
is very romantic and the piece as performed by
the company at Growers is deeply interesting. It
Is TO be repeated tonight only.
Saturday night, the "Robber's Wife" will be
played for Mrs. Drew's benefit
