the Enterprise building, by parties
from San Francisco, James NJ. Loller
and Co. being billed as the proprietors.
This melodeon opened on Wednesday
evening, May 10th-a little over two
weeks ago-with a very excellent COM
pany but Its career was short and not
very glorious, winding up this after
noon by the whole concern, scenery.
stage fixtures and all, being sold out
at sheriff s sale. At the opening night
the house was crowded to overlooking,

produced In this section, and hundreds
were unable to get in ut all. Next
evening they experienced no such diffi-
Guilty, and for over n week the melodeon
seemed to be running all right, with good
audiences. But somehow the receipts
OF the house could not, or were not
allowed to pay the bills against
the concern, and the consequence was
that last Saturday no less than three
attachments were put upon it by the
tradesmen who supplied the stage fix
lures, furniture, liquors, ETC., on credit.
| On Monday the proprietors took the
troupe to Carson where they apparently
played to good houses, but yesterday
all hands suddenly and unexpectedly
came back to Virginia, the company
having "busted out" entirely. The
actors complain that they did not get
their pay, and Of rather tricky usage
by the proprietors. The receipts Of
the house turned up missing, also the
managers. MI. Loller seems all right
and we'll disposed, but is rendered un-
able to pay from absence Of funds.
Those who know him best both here
and elsewhere speak we'll Of him as an
honorable, we'll meaning, yet not
wealthy, young man; but, after all, the
actual business manager or manipula-
the company part of the concern.
He apparently thought he knew all
aboIt "show" business, and indeed his
way of managing it was all "show"
and nothing else. After the first week
he failed to pay any Of the bills against
the concern-actors and everybody
elSe-and evidently went In for bilking
all possible. As 4 matter OF course,
things got too hot for him, and last
evening he quietly sloped without
notifying his creditors, and the last
heard of him he was OIL his way to
Reno, Ell route for san Francisco. He
is probably able to explain why the
receipts Of the company were not APP
piled to paying the bills. Two of the
female members Of the troupe left also
last evening for San Francisco, but all
the balance are at Virginia, none Of
them with much coin in their pockets.
Among them are deserving and favor
lite artists, who never merited such
scurvy treatment at the hands Of any
body.
