TillOtsOn s. Felrs Speciality Company
appeared at the Opera House, Wednes-
day evening to good audience. The
company is a first-class one in every
particular, and far above the average of
such combinations. The speeialties
given by the different performers in the
OliO were all of a most excellent
plause, every one being enthusi-
asticalIy encOTed. Charlie Schi-
ling was made the recipient of
a Yeritable ovation on the occasion of
his appearance in his well known and
popular musical act. His playing on so
many different and curious musical in
struments took the house by storm, and
the applause was so loud and long con-
tinued, he was compelled to appear be-
fore the curtain and bow his acknOwl-
edgements before the audience would
be satisfied.
The old time and inimitable negro
comedian, Ben. Cotton, appeared to great
advantage as Bob, the BOOthlack," in
his we'll known drama of True DeYO-
tiOn," and really captured the house by
his quaint witticisms and fine acting.
His little daughter Idalene also came IN
for large share of applause, her sing
lag and limitations being very fine.
Tony Denier's Humpty Dumpty Com
pany at the Opera house last night was
greeted with a good sized audience, who
heartily enjoyed the rOllicking fun fur
nished by those two rare mischief ma
keTs, the clowns RaVel and Melville.
The specialties in the OliO between the
acts were paTtiCnlaTely fine, the cOmical
juggling Of Melville bringing down the
house; and taken whole or in detail the
performance all through was a most eX-
cellent one.
On next Monday evening W. j. Com
ley'5 Comedy Company appears, with
Lizzie Harold, in her famous creation of
Princess Chuck" The following is
what the Cincinnati Times Star has to
say in regard to the play and the bright
little sOubTotte who assumes the role of
princess Chuck"
New plays are common enough, and
so are new stars for that matter, but it
is but seldom that the two are found to-
getheT, so that the production of THE
Princess Chack" was quite a memorable
affair. How it must have delighted the
charming little Princess" to hear the
spontaneous, almost bOisterOus applause
that burst from her auditors at every
song and at every one of those taking
speeches and thrilling or cOmical silua-
tiOns which abound throughout the play.
They gave the stamp of popular apprO-
baton on both the actress and her dra-
ma, and said in tones that shall be echo
ed whenever she shall hereafter appear,
that success is hers, and that to her be-
longs the tributes which to success are
due. Miss Harold as the princess
Chuck" made a great hit. Whether rev.
elling in comedy or moving her audi
ence to tears by pathOs. she was always
natural, always charming, and always
refined"
Princess Chuck is of the same
class as "Mliss. The plot of
the piece is original, the characters
all new, and Chuck" is an essentially
novel creation. She is a tender hearted,
brave, self-sacTificing girl, uncultured,
but with every instinct of true woman
hood fully developed. Miss Harold as
the representative of this type Of wO-
manhood has scored q wonderful success.
Her Comedy wins the hearts of all
her hearers, and her singing proves her
to be not only cultured musician, but
the pOssessOr also of a cOntTaltO voice of
rare compass and power. The company
supporting Miss Harold is one of Unus-
Ual excellence, and evidently selected
with a view to presenting the play in
the best possible manner.
