BY BONNER LAKE ROUTE:

Mrs. D. P. Bowers, whose fame as an
actress has echoingly reached US from
the Golden State beyond the Sierra Ne
vada, appeared in person at the Opera
House last evening, for the first time.
She was supported by Mr.. ]. G. McCul-
lom, Mr.. John Howson, Mr.. E. G. Mel
willie, Mrs. E. F. Stewart, Miss Harmon,
and the entire Opera House Company.
The play for the occasion was "Mary
Stuart" Mrs. Bowers p%ersonating Mary,
Queen of Scots. The audience was not
overly immense, but very appreciative,
as demonstrated by their frequent and
judiciously discriminatiye applause
throughout the piece. OF Mrs. Bowers
personation Of Mary Stuart, it IA sim
ply the hight Of perfection, and judging
from this u first view Of her upon the
stage, we feel justified in indorsing her
as a true artist and an actress OF the
very highest order Of merit, an opinion
we fear NO d~etraction from in future
presentations. Mrs. Bowers is of medium
size, rather good looking, possessed Of
a full clear voice, and her acting very
natural and effective, at times revealing
an artistic force and power Of d~elinea-
ton which is sure to thrill through the
hearts Of the audience and elicit de-
monstrative applause. In the culmina-
ton of the interview between her and
and Queen Elizabeth Mrs. Stewart)
she cannot be excelled by any living
actress, and no wonder the audience OF
last evening insisted so vociterously on
a repetition Of the scene. At the con-
clusion of the play she was also called
before the curtain. Mr.. McCullom Us
Lord George Douglass, by his excellent
acting and general demeanor and ap-
p~earance won q very favorable impress
sion with the audience before whom he,
like Mrs. Bowers, appeared for the first
time. Mr.. McCullom is young man,
Of fine stage appearance, good voice,
and is evidently possessed of the ele-
ments Of a good actor. He promises
we'll. Mr.. Howson was but little seen
in the piece, and being also n new
acquisition, we had but little opportu-
nifty Of judging as to his true merits,
although we rather liked what we saw
Of him and his acting. Melville has
been here before, and is an excellent
stock actor. He sustained the charac-
ter Of Drysdale very creditably, as also
did Buckley and Robinson the parts as
sumed by them. Robinson evidently
has talent in sold man" characters,
and We would like to see more Of him as
such. Mrs. Stewards Queen Elizabeth
was a fue piece of acting, as is expected
Of her, aud Miss Harmon also did we'll
as Lady Douglass. This evening Mrs.
Bowers will appear in her great spe-
Of Lady Audley's Secret" one
of the finest plays Of that character ever
upon the stage. The cast is an
excellent one, and we hope to see this
true artistic merits deseryedly in
rsed by q crowded house.
