PnER's OrEnA HousE-LEo HUDSON
AS "MAzEppA."-The popular drama.
tization Of Byron's beautiful poem'
Ma=eppa, was given in unusually e3-
cellent style last evening, Miss Leo
Hudson, the famous artistic, just ar
rived from the East, appearing in the
title character. She may we'll be Hat
tered with her reception on this her
opening night, for so crowded anu
fashionable an audience Is seldom seen,
as filled every part Of the Opera House
on this occasion. Miss Hudson GER
tainly is a very good actress, possess
ing a fair form and excellent stage APP
%pearance, and her handsome 5000
mare, "Dlack Bess" exhibited q re-
markable degree Of intelligence and
good training, making the terrific as
cent from the stage to the top OF the
theater, in gallant style, with Ma
zeppa" lashcd to her back. She Is
indeed n valuable animal. Mr.. Mobiles,
too. n new acquisition, met with high
favor, appearing as the "Khan,"
and being recognized as an actor
of unusual merit. Miss Sue
Robinson, as "Zemila," called for
and received her fully deserved degree
of applause, as usual; and Mrs. Flora
Pinney, as "Olinska," also appeared
to most excellent advantage. Katy
Wilson, Billy Robinson, Morrison and
some Others did well in their various
assumptions. The scenery was not
operated quite rs well us it should have
been; but the worst break Of all was
the idea Of putting a farce upon the
bill as nj additional attraction.
1t was not needed, was totally out OF
place and kept the audience there an
hour longer than neccessary-that Is
to say the small portion who stopped
long enough to see it. Mz=ePpa Will
be repeated tonight, and another
crowded house may be expected.
TIE AIlu,MBRA -"THE VIRGINS"
Last evening the fine spectacular ex-
travaganza, written BY j. G. Arnold
expressly for this theater, entitled The
TIrqins, was produced for the first
time. Tho piece has been in course of
preparation for some time past, and
was put upon the stage in splendid
style, with gorgeous dresses, new
scenery, startling effects, etc. The
entire audience was highly pleased
with it, and tonight it will be repeated.
Besides this Il choice bill of other at
fractions will be given, as may be seen
by reference to the distributed pro-
grammes. The theater Is well venti-
lated, cosy and comfortable, and just
the place for jolly promiscuous fun and
enjoyment.
LEO HUDSON MNTINEE.-To-mor-
row afternoon, at two O'Clock. will be
given another of those excellent and
fashionable matinees, for which the
Opera House is so justly noted. Mr..
Piper gives these matinees for the
special pleasure and accommodation of
ladies, children, families, and others,
who can get no favorable or COLI
venient opportunity Of attending the
theater. The famous, popular and
highly talented artistic, Miss Leo Hud-
son, will appear, together with the
entire dramatic company, in n Of
the finest and best entertainments w
given ut that theater. This will be
the first Leo Hudson matinee,
therefore the opportunity of seeing
this exceedingly pleasing and attrac-
tive artistic should not be neglected.
For the convenience of the Gold Hill
people attending, Jake White will
have on extra buses, and the day be-
ing a very pleasant one in all prob
ability, the ride to Virginia and back
will be 10 small portion Of the enjoy
ment. 1t will doubtless be the best
attended and most enjoyable matinee
which has been given at the Opera
House for many n day, and the people
Of Carson, Empire, and other points
contiguous to the railroad, might en-
brace the opportunity for a very agree
able pleasure excursion OH this occa-.
