PpEu's OPERA HOUSE = GRAND
CLOSING NIGHT, AND COMPLIMENTARY
BENEFIT TO MANAGER PIPER.-This
evening closes the season at Piper's
Opera House, on which occasion Man
ager John Piper has for the first time
consented to receive n complimentary
benefit rendered by the artists, musi-
clans and attaches Of the theatre. And
we have reason to believe that it will
also be a highly appreciative and conf
plimentary benefit Mt the hands Of the
public, for a large number Of seats in
the dress circle are already taken, and
we hear plenty Of our regular theatre
soers express their intention Of being
present OIL this special occasion, II they
never go again. They say Piper is
fully entitled to a good square benefit
and shall have It. That's perfectly
correct. All the actors and attaches
of the theatre, including the great
Vivian, have volunteered their services
free of charge. and in addition Miss
Belle Tausig, Mrs. Sauer, Mrs. Rob
irson, William Sauer and W. II. Rob
inson have kindly volunteered. Thus
Il will be seen that this will be a clear
beneft to Mr.. Piper, as even his adj
yertising and printing bills will be also
given to him free of charge. The pro-
gramme of entertainment Is an extra
good one, and such as cannot fail to
please, embracing many new and origi-
nal features. The performance COM
uienccs with the very entertaining
petite vaudeville Of "Antony and Gle
opatra," new here. L. +. Barnwell,
one of the finest Of tenors, will sing
the beautiful ballad OF ''Come Back to
Erin" Miss Belle TauSig will sing
Emerson's. new song, Flirting on
Skates" Little Dick will sing his
festive little Teutonic ballad about
buying n dorg. Mrs. Sauer will sing
Longfellow's sweet ballad, Beware"
The Reynolds Brothers will do their
great statue clog dance and next will
appear the famous Vivian in tome OF
MS choicest character s%pecialties. The
three wonderful little Midgets, Dickie,
Bennie and Eddie, will perform their
great equalization act; Dick Carroll
will give his very laughable charcoal
sketch; Mile. Marie Gaugain will per-
form her charming "Nalse les Roses"
the Reynolds Brothers will appear in
another lively and pleasing song and
dance ; and the whole will conclude
with the favorite legitimate comedy Of
BOX and Cox" which will be rem
dered in unusually acceptable style,
Vivian himself appearing in the CHAR
acter Of Cox. Harry Courtaine Will
Nersonate Box, and Mrs. Robinson VIII
.ppear rs Mrs. Bouncer. A more va
red and entertaining bill could hardly
he asked. Mr.. Piper has volunteered
The use of his theater free OF charge on
many an occasion. and for both public
and private benefits, therefore 1t Is but
rendering a Just and appreciatiye re-
turn, to give him the benefit ola we'll

The theater be ever so full, however,
the receipts can only partially recon-
peuse him for his losses sustained re-
Gently in catering to the amusement OF
