S~rErBENvILLE, September THE opera
house opening last Monday evening was
not as much of q success as 1t might have
been, although the fault was not with our
local management. The Lights o. London
.ompany's car containing the scenery did
not arrive until late Monday afternoon,
owing to an accident to the car, and Mon.
day night the performance did n o end
until / o'clock. Tuesday evening the play
was better, but their manager
Acted In Bad Faith,
ard 'cut'' the play in order to get away at
l &C ock. The Lights O. London will not
make anything by their conduct here, as
they play during the season at both wheel
ing and P%ittsburg, and managers in those
cities must keep a look ont for them ana
make them fulfill their contracts. Prof.
Joe Kramer and his excellent orchestra
covered themselves all over with glory by
their excellent selections, and helped out
what would otherwise have been
A Dreary Performance.
The opera house itself met with much
lsyor by the splendid audiences present on
both occasions, and the house promises to
become the resort for amusement goers In
Steubenyille. Haverly's Minstrels play
to night, and next week we have Jennie
Yeamans, a second edition of Lolita, and
the Rentz,Ssntly Burleslue Company,
which troupes will both undoubtedly be
favored with big houses. The citizens are
aware that we have a house that we may
feel proud of, ard they will give II their
undivided patronage. =,
