The OWENS TROUPE. Opera House
was packed, last night-even standing
room being occupied. The successful
comedian was ably supported, it is true,
but the continuous and uproarious
mirth among his audience is not alto
gether attributable to the high degree of
a comedy talent he possesses, but is as
much as ascribable. perhaps to the fact
that his plays are of a character as to
best suit his broad sense of humor and
his generous manner of portraying it.
Tho fun Of his plays are so palpable and
80 good, that both the uneducated and
cultivated of his patrons enjoy it. The
hurnor Of his plays are peculiarly of q
kind to be relished by the general run
of audiences. Mr.. Owens as Major De

Characterization well worthy Of his talent,
while every one present enjoyed his
''Solon Shingle" in the best of humor
