Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-07-08

THRlTRICAL.-The second performance Of
California Through DEATH Talley, the long
named play by Sam Smith and John Wood
ward, was given at the Opera House last
night. The drama has literary merit not only
in language but in plot and detail. The eli
makes are COED and the scenery and mechan-
zeal effects superb. John Woodward as bill
Williams" did piece Of acting that will give
him fame as he travels toward the orient, for
it is strong picture painted by master
hand. Miss Terrence looked and acted the
part of Fonda most pleasingly. sob
Eden" was done by George Stevens, who is
a Carson boy. Miss Grey could not be ex-
celed as Betty Eden, and indeed, next to
John Woodward, she is the character feature
&C the piece. Little Willette is charming
e!...u actress. Ruth" the coored girl, is
very lively in song and dance, and has most
infectious laugh. As to "John Henry" we
think it a pity for Will Nischer and the part
that he dses not exercise his we'll known
faculty for hsmor in relieving the menetsny
of the role by replacing ''the opinion of John
Henry" in some instances with other and
more appropriate speeches which he is ca.
pable of writing But "Nisch." gets all out
of it there is in it,
TWENTY YEARS AGo.-Sherry Corbyn, the
manager, who is playing the present
here. fret came to Carson with
stroling theatrical company twenty years age.
At that time there were about fifty men at
work in the Ornsby House and each had re-
vover strapped to his hip and rife within
reach. The Indian war was in progress at the
time and the blood thirsty Piutes We're hover
ng along the horizon ready fer actual tight
ng Now the descendants Of these same
men are playing poker in the open streets and
the passer- by for discarded pants. |
Thus the whirligig of time brings about its
changes. 1t may also be remembered that |
hen he had an $500 house in Moore's old |
heatre, but his engagement here, while not
10 bad, had nothing of the rare old "hush-
less" Of twenty years ago. The old settlers,
.ewever. say that Sherry hasn't changed a
lair, but like the straw -coored VINE they
famed him after, has only msllowed and inn
roved with age.
TIE BOwMEN The archers are constantly
racticing at the targets ana the following
