THE attendance at the Cuthbert,
Lynn & Burnsides entertainm ent at
\ Pauls Opera House last Saturday
|evening was not as large as the occa-
sion deserved. For amateurs the
troupe does exceedingly we'll, and We
believe they gave general satisfaction.
With little more exercise they will
rival many companies of established
reputation. The local hits made were
excellent and received uproarious ap-
probation. Other parts of the ex-
tended programmeswere given with
zest and facility. The company will
visit Frostburg again during the win
ter when, it is hoped, a more favorable
day will be chosen to gain a larger
attendance.
In this connection it is to be regret
ted that several false rumors gained
circulation and credence with regard
to the conduct of members of the
troupe. We are assured on good au-
thority that no difficulty originated
with any member, but with outsiders
for whose conduct the troupe is not
responsible.
