The entertainment given ut the Opera
House last evening by this company was
of varied character and attended by q
small audience, but those who were there
expressed their appreciation in terms that
were both loud and unmistakeable. The
company is one of the strongest of Its
kind that has ever visited Rutland, and
embraces many rare qualities not usually
found in a variety troupe.
Chief Of these is Mr.. j. II. Brown.
THE MIND READER,
whose fame is already established and be-
coming widely known and acknowledged
as superior to that of any other known.
His ability TO lead the thoughts of another
was demonstrated to the wonder and salts
faction of all present last evening, and his
exhibitions of his powers formed an enter
tainment well worthy of attention from
the greatest scientists of the age. A gen
tleman chosen from the audience was aske d
to fix his mind upon any one man in the
audience. lie did so and Mr.. Brown, all
the time blindfolded, after putting the
subjects hand to his forehead, led him
straight to the object of his thoughts. This
was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
The gentleman then hid an article in the
pocket of another in the hall, Mr.. Brown
beng blindfoded with his back to the au-
dience The mind reader then successful
" accomplished the feat of leading the
gentleman direct to the hiding place OF the
article and to the gentlemen who had it
concealed.
The colored gentlemen, William and
Amos, are the liveliest specimens of song
and dance men we ever saw on the stage ;
Hamilton made hit in his character
changes the Arnold brothers are immense
in triple clog, and Kennedy as ventrilo-
quist, though young in years, ranks with
many veterans in the business. The
demon box mystery was success and
other points were made by the troupe. OF
which we may speak hereafter. Go and
see them tonight.
