THE PlPAhDlERES.
Hnis company was organized in Cincinnati
and -stayted out last week for the purpose Of
a'takng I'M tho smaller cities and towns, with
% fair recon- mmendatIon from the Cincinnati pa
per. The troupe was composed of II. X. HOr-
ton, manager ana ten ladiest0 Some wealth
was expended In costuming the girls, and they
made a fine appearance on the stage; but the
performance, which was styled "a Musical
Military Burlesque," as given here was bad
case Of failure, locked at IN any other light than
as burlesquc on the show business The COM
pany made their first stand at Xenla on Thanks
giving night, and were billed for this place on
Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday after
aeon. Their engagement at Xenia.was not a
financial success, and they were somewhat de-
tained in leaving the city, and did mot reach
here until the evening train-too lGte to give
thclr advertised performance Friday evening,
Ilrey came mp smiling for the Saturday matinee,
hOWeyer; but the audience failed 10 arrive to
any extent. At the Saturday evening perform
aa4ce there was crowd of about hundred men
and boys, and the receipts at the ticket office
amounted to only $40 or $25, and the manager
found himself financially embarrassed and un-
able TO pay his bills. Two Of the girls left the
'troupe at Xenia, and two here, and went back
ITO Cincinnati. The remainder of the company
went over to Circleyille Monday. where they
were advertised to appear. We clip the follow
ing paragraph from yesterdays Clrcleyille

"TheVivAnderes, a show which appeared in
GhiB city Monday night, had quite " crowd,
among them good many roughs, who probably
did not ind the show us bad rs they expected,

that the gas was turned on and police sent for
10 clear the hall"
