P1PER'S OPERA HOUSE -CROWDED
REopENNa : GREAT VARIETY Con-
PANY.-Piper's Opera Heuse reopened
on Saturday evening, after a few
weeks cessation of hostilities, with an
excellent and extensive variety com
pany from San Francisco. The spa
cious theater was densely packed with
a hugely pleased audience-one of the
largest ever assembled within those
walls. Without going into n detailed
description Of the company, we will
mention that it embraces several good
singers, dancers and general actors,
both male and female. The first part
given is particularly excellent, and
the jokes and drolleries sandwiched In
between the songs and ballads are
quite new and fresh. John Woodward
Is stage manager, yet he appears with
good effect in the plays given, as also
does Fanny Hanks. The Misses Mark
ham, Miss Lolita. Susie Lee and Nellie
Leonard are all very pleasing In the
parts assumed by them. Cogill and
Cooper are excellent clog dancers,
Tommy Arnold Is a sweet singer, and
rs for Charley Rhoades, Johnny Col
Inns, De Angels, Taylor and the rest,
their abilities are too we'll known to
require comment. A fine interlude Of
song, dance and general d~elineations,
Is given every evening, also a pleasing
play or q farce rs an afterplece. This
evening Miss Cherry Belle, by many
considered the best general actress In
that line OH the coast, makes her first
appearance, and the beautiful drama
Of the Damb Girl Of Genoa will be
given. Miss Jennie Benson Is also en-
gagged and will shortly appear.
STANDARDIZATION Saturday evening

other citizens, took a ride down to
Dayton in one Of the Gold Hill and
Virginia buses, driven by Jake White

Jaqua's they came back home, well
pleased with their visit.
