The Original Georpia M~iDBtrelS

The Original Georgia Ministries.
From the Louisville Courier-JouTnal Dec. %.
Hicks Original Georgia Ministries,
comprising a number of first-class
performers who have been on the
road for the past fifteen years, and
Just returned from Australia, ap-
peared at the Masonic Temple, last
evening to a crowded house. The
company is an extraordinary good
one. There are half a dozen good
comedians with a party headed by
Charlie Crusoe, who told some new
things on his end, and made a clever
speech in the Olio; he was ably as
sisted by the rest, and the old vet,
Pete Deyonear, old times rocks,
who is simply immense. The Olio is
first class, everything new and at
tractive, having abolished all the old
time acts. The music is good, far
above the average minstrel shows,
the ballads and choruses were beau
tifully rendered and the solos we're
exquisite. One of the %curiosities of
the company, is a left-handed violin
list who leads the orchestra, and
leads it we'll.
The above company will appear at
the Opera House, in Mexico, next
Monday hight, Jan. 80.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat,
speaking of Miss Woodthorpe, who
appears at Opera House tonight and
Friday night, says: Miss George
Woodthorpe, a California actress,
has been delighting audiences in
Louisville and other Kentucky, Ohio
and Indiana cities with her charming
lmpersonation of the leading female
part in a play called Dash, the Girl
of the Hills which was written ex-
pressly for her by a San Francisco
dramatic author. Her performance
combines the fun of Annie PixIey's
Miss with the sensational character
istics of The Danites. Her versatil-
ity carrying her throughout the wide
range of dramatic expression and to
the delight of all her audiences. The
company supporting her is composed
of very capable artists, and their
parts fit them so well that it would
almost seem as if the author had pre-
pared them to order. When Miss
Woodthorpe visits St. Louis she can
count upon adding another to her
long cor of successes, and in the
meantime her audience may be con-
graduated upon the opportunity pro-
vided them of seeing SO excellent an
artist and company in so interesting
