GRAND OPERA.HoUsE.
A new star in new play, and both
with the strongest concentrations, was
the attraction Of opening night at the
Grand Opera-house. Miss Etiie Ellsler
made her bow TO a Cincinnati audience
last night IN tne mucn talked-0f play,
"a Heroine In Rags" She Is bright,
winning, easy, little actress Of the Lolita,
Maggie Mitchell school, and Is The equal
of either OF them. The piece gives full
play to her fine vocal powers and her
easy, rollicking manner on the stage. 50
pleased was the audience with her from
the first, that she was peremptorly
called before the curtain at the close of
the first act. 1t has been long while
since stranger received such a cordial
greeting from Cincinnati audience.
The audience last night was fine one,
and as the beauty Of the piece and the
fame OF the winning little actress
spreads, will increase 10 the end Of the
engagement.
Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

cellent Instrumental and vocal music.
