THE odd Fellows Of this city are making
arrangements to celebrate the sixty-third
anniversary of the institution of the order
in this country, by musical and literary
entertainment at the Opera House, on
Thursday evening, May Is. The proper
day for observance was April 20, but it
was deemed .expedient to select later
date. and il was accordingly fixed as
above. The committee having the matter
in charge are actively engaged in complet'
ing the work and from the character of the
programme We have no doubt il will prove
pleasant affair.
TONIGHT Ada Gray will open a two
nights engagement at the Opera House in
Fast Lynne" She created quite furore
when here last, some six years ago. That
she has not deteriOrated is shown by the
following from the st. Louis Democrat: IF
il is any qualification TO Miss Gray to know
that on this occasion she had all the ladies
in the audience in tears more than once
and large fraction of the sterner sex pol.
iShing the perspiration out OF their eyes,
she ought to be happy. And again, in the
first two acts where she has the lines to
10 so, tine charming little touches OF humOr
in a wife, whose only cOquettishne ss is re-
served for her husband, we're so deliciously
neat that the transition afterwards to the
desperation of insane jealousy was only too
vivid in its realistic effect
o. Saturday afternoon and evening the
Boston Ideal Uncle Toms Cabin" showed
AZ the Opera House. IL was the same old
thing. As an exchange says: Uncle
Tom S Cabin" is tenacious OF life. 1t seems
that. like kind words, it can never die. No
other play of similar caliber has ever held
place ON the stage for SO long Il time being
played so constantly, that we know oil.
This drama of tears and cant and platitude,
which has lost its purpose with the change
OF national conditions is an interrogation
point of huge proportions, surprising in
every curve. No one can give a reason why
il should Outliye better and nObler plays,
even the perennial spring Of youth hardly
>uifcing for that. But while Uncle Tom
CantS Spartan piety, and Little Eva pirates
supernatural wisdom, there is Il likelihood
that the mysterious charm will continue to
exert itself upon the public.
