Germania Hall and Opera House
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.

1t lAL NIL hlblN' i'bDs
A very fine audience assembled in
Germana Hall, last evening, 10 witness
a performance, by our local musical
talent, gotten up to raise a fund TO de-
fray the expenses Of rebuilding the
Leatherwood school house. This
worthy object, coupled with the fame
OF the performers, attacted a hall full
OF Wheeling's best-ladies and gentle
men.
The programme opened with an
overture, kindly volunteered and adj
mirably executed, by Kramers Band. 10
and his musicians have been fairly COW
ering themselves with glory Of late, and
never PLAYED better than upon this oc-
casion. The overture was succeeded by
a rendition, by Mr.. &. Y. Lucas, Of that
sweet song, Among the Lilies" Mr.
Lucas was applauded as he appeared
and rewarded when he closed.
Messrs. Will d. Mccoy and Charlie
Killmyer then played, in fine style. a
selection from ''Troyatore," and were
followed by Mr.. Oscar Seeley, who sang
dublin Bay" in 80 acceptable a man
ner that he was treated 10 an encore,
when he sang "My Mary Ann"
Mrs. c. W. Eofi's appearance on the
stage WAS the sigma! for applause, tri-
butte 10 her magnificent voice and fresh,
Youthful appearance. She sang sob,
Lovely One" with such grace and effect
that she was recalled 20 sing within
Mile OF Eiinboro," which was rendered
with particular charm and yivacity.
This closed part first Of the programme.
The Operctta Of Little Red Riding
Hood" came next, and was quite a sue
cess. II is the old story, familiar TO
your nursery DAYS, dear reader, and
is prettily set TO mnsic, embracing
many beautiful solos and duets
from popular operas, among which we
not ced era Diavolo," IA File de
Mime. Angot." bohemian Girl, Mar
tina" and several other ballad airs. Miss
Jennie Moody, Of Steubenvllle. took the
character Of mother with good taste her
fine voice coming in with admirable ef-
feet. Miss Mamie Dubois, in the title
role, was a great success, singing Ike
nightingale and looking exceedingly
pretty. The parts Of Hunter and Wolf
were well sustained by Messrs- &. \.
Lucas and s. c. Wilson, respectively.
and Bates Woods was the merry wood
cutter up 10 the handle-of his Ak. The
was a success throughout
and richly mcriied the praise Il received.
ALyIS JosLIS COMBINATION.
Seats are now on sale at Lucas music
store for the performances on Monday
and Tuesday, by the above combination.
From what we can learn the play is one
OF unusual merit and is well worth see
ing. The Washington Republican Of DC
tober 9TH thus speaks OF them:
The National theatre was crowded
last evening on the occasion OF the first
performance OF alvin Joslin," and the
uproarious fun prevailing in the audi
ence during the whole performance sus-
tanned all that has been said Of the
piece. The character Of Airin JOHN por-
tray.d with great artistic skill by Mr..
Charles l.. Davis, presents a typical
matter Of fact old New England farmer,
a sort Of rough diamond, where quaint
ss ss9g apa ebaGa epHe -
all the time. Mr.. Davis is strongly sup
ported by Miss Emma Verne, an emo
.ional actress OF great merit, and large
company, every mem Der OF which h Q
rood actor. The play has its tragic and
ind pathetic as well as It's humorous
tides. but every scene is well sustained.
