The most brilliant dramatic gem of the
age will appear in Canton at an early
date which will be duly announced
The BLACK ERND
Served to torture large audience Of
deluded citizens at the Opera House on
last Saturday night. Having billed the
town with fine display of cuts and post
ers they drew large house, owing to the
faith which Cantonians have always
placed in printers ink, The party con-
sisted of eight people, mostly broken
down variety howlers, and this assuming
group butchered few scenes from the
Naiad Queen and called it the Black
Fiend, which was at best a fendish i'm
position. The audience, especially the
Lords Of the gallery came near opening
their bate les Of censure on different oc-
casions and we are unable to tell why
they did not. 1t il q shame that a GOOD
and meritorious company as the Susan
Denim party should be 10 little encourage
ed by our people, while fy-by-night
group Of frauds can come among w and
carry our wealth away to be sQuandered
in foreign whisky.

House February 9th.
SUSAN DENIM.
Miss Susan Denim with full and pow
erfill dramatic company opened at the
Opera Hsuse on last Monday night for a
brief engagement of three nights, and
was enthusiastically received by appre-
ciatiVe audiences. Miss Denim as an
emotional actress, has but few equals; her
figure is admirably adapted to the char
acters she renders, her gestures are grace
full and expressive, her voice round and
full and her carriage and facial express
sion perfect; in point of dramatic ability
and conception of characters she assumes
she has but few peers. On Monday night
BARLEY Campbe IFS domestic drama, Lost
and Won, was effectually rendered, Miss
Denim performing the part of Florence
4 Tn4l in IA mo Gn no OIL
dance could not restrain their apprecia-
ton, even in scenes most sad. She showed
herself to be true actress, winning the
great favor of her audience by her own
merits as such, and not depending, as
many do, upon outside influences and ar
tistic afectation. Oglesby as Mugs, Cliff
ford, Taylor, Eagle, Grisel Miss kellogg
and others ably acquitted themselves,
and individually aided in making the
troupe one of the most excellent we have
witnessed in Canton. On Tuesday night
a dramatization Of Collins novel Man
and Wife was ably rendered. On We'd
nesday night Miss Denim out-shone her
self in the impersonation of the Royal
character of Queen Elizabeth, excelling
all acting that has ever taken place in
this city. Mrs Lander once upon time
rendered the same part in Canton, and
her rendition received by an over-full
house, was pronounced marvel of dra-
matte ability, but with all its excellence
it was surpassed last night by Miss Den
in. She was Queen, and with magnetic
effect she portrayed the emotions OF Eliz-
abeth so perfectly that all were 10th to
think she was Miss Denim, and not real
live ruler of troubled nation. Her
change from vigorous and naughty
sovereign to care-worn time f1rrowed |
and dependent dictator was admirably
effected, and her very expression in the |
last act, secured that of an aged, broken
down, but still naughty woman, near
deaths door. Twice the audience be- |
came irrepressible and were only ap-
peased by the appearance of Miss Denim |
before the curtain. Although not Sc
well encouraged as we should have been |
happy to notH, We can assure this excel |
ent company and Miss Denim particular
y that should we be so favored again, |
.he audiences will be such as will please
hem better.
